When building an i686-mingw32 toolchain, binutils fails with the above error. Thus far, I have tried 2.18-r4 and 2.19-r1 and both produce the same error. You may want to re-file this under binutils ebuild, but I thought it was right to post it under crossdev and let you guys decide that. I was only able to find two references to this error on google: http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-04/msg00257.html http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-binutils@gnu.org/msg01149.html Portage 2.1.6.13

multitarget most likely does not work with mingw targets. try again with USE=-multitarget.
no real point in supporting this setup. it'll get fixed upstream eventually.
