I get the following link errors when trying to "emerge memprof"

[Comment 1 Todd 2002-05-24 18:22:48 UTC]

This ebuild requires, libbfd-2.9.1.0.24.so.  Portage does not carry such old
versions of binutils to supply this for us.  Mask the ebuild for now, until a
new version comes out or hack a fix into this?  Supposidly their is a cvs for
this somewhere, but I have yet to find it....

Hi,

although my comment hasn't got much to do with this version of memprof, I do
want to mention a number of things.

- website adress mentioned in ebuild should be changed to:
 http://www.gnome.org/projects/memprof/
The website mentioned in the ebuild does still provide the right link for the
moment, but it's probably a matter of time.
- current gentoo ebuild version is memprof 0.4.1-r1, the current memprof version
on the previously mentioned website is at 0.5.1. So perhaps an update would be
nice ;)

Bouncing back to bug-wranglers due to time constraints.

[Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) 2003-01-23 06:39:22 UTC]

Newer memprof has been in for a while, closing cause this bug is _old_.

If there's still a problem, just reopen.

I'm having problems with memprof building.  It sounds related to this bug, but also to these bugs: <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417">417</a> and <a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46814">46814</a>.

The build problems seem to be similar to those in this bug as well as in #417, and I noticed a problem with the relink.patch patch at the beginning of the emerge as in #46814.

Here's my compiler error:
