Bug 139281 – as dumps core and blocks all installs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Arno Hahma 2006-07-05 03:14:14 UTC]

All ebuilds fail like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu --datadir=/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.16.1 --infodir=/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.16.1/info --mandir=/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.16.1/man --bindir=/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1 --libdir=/usr/lib/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.16.1 --libexecdir=/usr/lib/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.16.1 --includedir=/usr/lib/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.16.1/include --enable-64-bit-bfd --enable-shared --disable-werror --without-included-gettext --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

This happened after upgrading to gcc-3.4.6, so apparently this broke "as". Now, how do I get 
a working as to continue with fixing this problem?!?
