After updating gcc from 4.3.4 to 4.4.1 I finished my world -e and am now going through the problems. matplotlib remerges fine with gcc-4.3.4 but it fails when using gcc-4.4.1. Everything else is on the status of ~amd64 from about two days ago. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set gcc to 4.3.4 and emerge matplotlib - it works 2. Set gcc to 4.4.1 and emerge matplotlib - it fails Strangely it goes to pdb rather than failing so I quit with Ctrl+C. What can I do to help fix this? Here's the error: updating environment: 459 added, 0 changed, 0 removed ***************************************************************..............................***************************************************************************...reading sources...

Hrm, might that be an issue in your local setup? It looks a bit like the python-wxwidgets bits are seriously confused, so maybe re-emerging those packages or running python-updater fixes it.
Reopen if you can reproduce this error after checking wx and python setup.
