During the step where I should "emerge --oneshot --nodeps sys-devel/binutils" according to the solaris botstrapping instructions. binutils fails to build because it does not find zlib. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge --oneshot --nodeps sys-devel/binutils Actual Results: Failed to build because it did not find zlib Expected Results: Succeed to build since i have zlib in $EPREFIX/tmp. Also tried to emerge zlib beefore binutils. Still failed. Tested on CentOS 5.x x86 and CentOS 6.x x86_64. # emerge output $ emerge --oneshot --nodeps sys-devel/binutils --- snip --- >>> Unpacking binutils-2.22-patches-1.2.tar.bz2 to /usr/local/gprefix/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.22-r1/work * Applying various patches (bugfixes/updates) ... * 03_all_binutils-2.15.92.0.2-ppc64-pie.patch ...

this is a snapshot problem sorry about that, will have to bump today if you're courageous, try the following: - open $EPREFIX/usr/portage/eclass/toolchain.eclass - find function gcc_do_filter_flags() - remove the first line "strip-flags"
Snapshot bumped, that should fix this nasty problem. Sorry and thanks again for reporting.
