History: I'm doing "emerge -e world" as the final step of moving to PaX, and I was able to build 3.3.1-r1 successfully yesterday. However, I had to start over due to various things, and r1 is no longer in the tree. I am using "emerge -bke", so I have a tbz2 of kdebase-3.3.1-r1 already. Problem: kdebase build fails when libtool complains that sidebarextension.lo (in the kicker extensions phase) is not a valid libtool object. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kde-base/kdebase 2. 3.

> libtool: link: `sidebarextension.lo' is not a valid libtool object usually this means a file corruption caused by various problems. Please try disabling ccache (add "-ccache" to FEATURES in make.conf), remove your /var/tmp/portage and try again. Let us know if this works.
Ok, after another failed build (and before I got your comment) I tried re-merging ccache (since I noticed it would have been the very last package built), and started another build as I left for work. I now see that the build has completed successfully. Thank you for the tip; I will try that with the next package that fails! (There was one before this, so I'm sure out of 560 there will be more...)
Weel. Closing as invalid because is well know that ccache can give problems and this bug is all related to it and not to the kde ebuilds.
