Can you post emerge info ?

I've tested it without gd and it compiles just fine.

Notice, that ar tells you "File format not recognized" which is different from "File not found" ...
It happened to me a couple of times with too aggressive CFLAGS.

I was translating the messages from Polish, so I could have made a mistake :)

Besides, I noticed that I had something messed up with gcc - so maybe that was the problem. If nobody else has the same problem, I assume this bug should be closed.

[Comment 3 Eldad Zack (RETIRED) 2004-10-25 05:31:25 UTC]

Since I can't duplicate it and it seems like a gcc related problem, I'm closing this as INVALID.
