When I compile dev-libs/elfutils I get following error:

    randlib libeu.a
    make[2]: randlib: Command not found

I tried symlinking /usr/local/bin/randlib to my ranlib binary and compilation succeeds. This is probably a typo in the Makefile.

Please post your `emerge --info` output.

To clarify: my suspiction is that 'randlib' comes from your environment somewhere in /etc/portage/ and not from elfutils tarball.

Closing as INVALID assuming the 'randlib' typo is in make.conf or package.env.
