This happens on my sparc using the experimental/multilib profile so I don't know whether it is specific for this profile or more general. Emerging e2fsprogs dies with the following lines: make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.9/work/e2fsprogs-1.41.9/debugfs' MK_CMDS debug_cmds.c CC debugfs.c CC util.c CC ncheck.c CC icheck.c CC ls.c CC lsdel.c CC dump.c CC set_fields.c CC logdump.c CC htree.c CC unused.c SUBST debugfs.8 CC debug_cmds.c LD debugfs debugfs.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [debugfs] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.9/work/e2fsprogs-1.41.9/debugfs' make[1]: *** [all-progs-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.9/work/e2fsprogs-1.41.9' make: *** [all] Error 2 * * ERROR: sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.9 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2594: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake COMPILE_ET=compile_et MK_CMDS=mk_cmds || die; * The die message: * (no error message) I will attach the full build log for reference as well.
