have build sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.7-r4 as tbz2 on another sparc maschine and installid it on the failing one, everything works fine again. so somehow sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1 doesn´t worh on my system. I have masked it in /etc/portage/package.mask . You should investigate this, but immediate help is not necessary.
