Can´t see -r1 in portage any more. Does -r2 produce the same error?
What versions of binutils do you have installed? emerge -Cp binutils
I had binutils 2.15.92.0.2-r1 and 2.15.92.0.2-r7 installed as I had the multislot USE variable set (as when I set it for binutils it was new and I did not fully understand what it did). I have removed the multislot USE variable and re-emerged binutils and now only have 2.15.92.0.2-r7 installed and emerge --info works as expected.
Okay. That was enough information to fix the bug though. Thanks.
