emerge failed and libgl was dead, 'file' showed libgl was 'data' not 'ELF' ill provide as much extra info as needed (but im afraid you might have to ask for it as im not sure what additional info would be helpful) ill attach the ebuild i used to emerge the drivers i still have one patch disabled as the einfo said its patching what modprobe comlplained about being a unresolved symbol, that was before i had the proper sed in the ebuild but i havent seen a ned to allow the patch now, unless someone can explain what the patch does (like well it works with and without that patch, just with it, XYZ would be happening/possible) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ati-drivers-3.2.5-r1 on a ~x86 system with sys-apps/coreutils-5.0-r4 2. 3.

Created attachment 18759 [details] the ebuild used to successfuly merge the drivers on this ~x86 system as 'emerge info' details let me know if you rather had a diff -u
grrr, let me do a band aid fix to that.
workaround committed.
