A build failure occurs when compiling sys-devel/binutils with ICC as the system compiler on amd64 because of the presence of ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF_2 in the gold linker header files. ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF_2 is a GNU extension that enables GCC to issue warnings if variadic functions that deal with printf format strings are not used in a type-safe manner. ICC lacks support for this extension, so the build fails. Doing the following will permit it to compile: emerge `equery which sys-devel/binutils` unpack sed -i "s/ ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF_2//" /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.22-r1/work/binutils-2.22/gold/{object.h,errors.h,incremental.h} emerge `equery which sys-devel/binutils` merge As a test, I reran these commands after doing it and the ICC-built binutils were able to assemble and link themselves. Trying to use them to build other things works too. After building binutils, there is a QA warning about RW sections in libiberty.a, but I consider that to be separate from the ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF_2 issue.
Here is my system information: # emerge --info sys-devel/binutils Portage 2.1.10.45 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.13-r4, 3.2.5 x86_64)

(In reply to comment #2) > Please attach the entire failing build log to this bug report. Jeroen, I did not forget about this, but I started examining FEATURES=test failures that I discovered after this issue and later realized to occur with GCC. I am in the process of vetting things with GCC and I plan to continue my experiments with ICC afterward. I should have a build.log for you in a few days.
