When I emerge queue-fix it fail's. I tracked it down to src_compile() { echo "${CC} ${CFLAGS}" > conf-cc echo "${CC} ${LDFLAGS}" > conf-ld emake || die } and on my system ${CC} is not set. So the queue-fix compile script reads that and trys exec -march ... which fails I replaced the above with echo "gcc ${CFLAGS}" > conf-cc echo "gcc ${LDFLAGS}" > conf-ld and it worked fine. I imagine this is some kind of old profile incompatibility? Also, I'll have to remind myself to check back here because currently I'm still setting up my new email system and my old one has been removed so I won't be reciving any email for a bit. :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge qmail 2. 3.

Ok. Qmail also failed for the same reason so I did some more digging and playing. Seems my gcc-config profile hasn't been set. So I googled for how to set it. And eventually check out the gentoo upgrading to 1.4 guide. Which lead me to believe that I should upgrade from gcc 2.95.3 to -r8. This of course will be a time consuming compile on my server which is a 133mhz pentium. So I thought I'd just report in what I found so far. I'll let you know how it turns out.

So yeah, compiled gcc 2.95.3 -r8 and its using hte gcc-config profile now and qmail is compiling Just wonder if the ebuild should say something if gcc config doesn't have a profile selected or something?
yeah it's old profile incompatibility. you'll have to upgrade, unless you want to do that ${CC} -> gcc fix for yourself on all packages that use it.
actually ebuilds should not use ${CC} or ${CXX} they should use $(gcc-getCC) after doing 'inherit gcc'
fixed in cvs.
