Output from 'emerge --info'

While trying to set up Xen on my laptop, I discovered that 4.5 series versions of app-emulation/xen with USE=efi don't actually install xen.efi like they should.  They still create /boot/efi/gentoo, they just don't put anything there.

Output of 'emerge --info' is attached.

I think I may have figured out what the issue I'm having is.  Assuming my conclusion is correct, I'll be posting more specifics later today.

Comment 2 Austin S. Hemmelgarn 2015-08-03 14:55:15 UTC

OK, after some further investigation, I've discovered that this was caused somehow by my specifying target related options in EXTRA_ECONF for sys-devel/binutils.  Removing those caused the problem to go away, so I'm marking this as invalid.
