Initial state as "unconfirmed" because this came from a system not exactly "clean". Thinking this is a rather important issue so reporthing it anyway. db 2.15.92.0.2 # ls -l /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.15.92.0.2 total 2244 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 79256 Jun 6 16:11 addr2line -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46976 Jun 6 16:11 ar -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 293952 Jun 6 16:11 as -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 78608 Jun 6 16:11 c++filt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 143952 Jun 6 16:11 gprof -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 447072 Jun 6 16:11 ld -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 96184 Jun 6 16:11 nm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 250728 Jun 6 16:11 objcopy -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 248896 Jun 6 16:11 objdump -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46976 Jun 6 16:11 ranlib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 218496 Jun 6 16:11 readelf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22496 Jun 6 16:11 strings -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 250760 Jun 6 16:11 strip From this list "size" program is missing. Notably this program is needed from Bash to emerge between us.
i have size on all of my boxes need more info to figure out what's going here ... be nice if a full emerge log was posted as well as `emerge info`
bah, never had that problem again, has said probably was a hosed chroot ... that after 4 months probably does not exist anymore.
