If this is with gcc 3.2 based setup, the cflags you are using may be causeing the problems. Please emerge -u portage (and make sure you update the new make.conf) and look at the CFLAGS examples. I suspect this may be the problem
Where is : examples of the make.conf? a FAQ for 1.4 setup? (appart from this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=11963) examples for gcc3.2? should this be obvious?
the examples are all within the latest make.conf (supplied by portage), if you dont see them you will have to emerge help to find out how to update your conf files.
Also that thread in the forums is very x86 centric and should not be used as reference for ppc :)
Ok, read the sticky in PPC on the forums page an this has just become a know bug. My make.conf has CFLAGS="-02 <some flags I forget> -mcpu=604 -mmultiple -mstrings" -mmultiple -mstrings are known to break 1.4 (according to the forums post), just copied them from 1.2 :( As is seems that a release version of 1.4 is imminent and since I don't want to spend 8 days recompiling from scratch I will wait for a 1.4 main release.
