I have reemerged binutils which was binutils-2.14.90.0.7-r4 and my compilation/link error went away. I don't know how it was solved.
Still that version of binutils, or is it .8 you have now?
I have not rsynced portage today or yesterday, I dont know if 0.8 is unmasked but mine is root # emerge -p binutils These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.7-r4
1. Today I started with binutils-2.14.90.0.6-r6 and glibc-2.3.2-r3 2. emerge sync 3. emerge binutils (became 2.14.90.0.7-r4) 4. emerge -B glibc (build package 2.3.2-r9 which failed) I tried step 4 again, trying to reproduce, also with binutils-2.14.90.0.6-r6, also tried some other things which could have been the situation when it failed but could not reproduce. I now built the glibc-2.3.2-r9 package but I think I'm not gonna install it seeing the bugreports regarding r9...
Well OK, the last status, made a backup to be sure and emerged glibc-2.3.2-r9. It runs fine!
Ok, great! I will leave this open if somebody have issues.
looks to be fixed
