The 'ld' program comes from sys-devel/binutils, so you may want to try rebuilding that. Also, it seems odd that your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS variables are unset. You can find some examples for those in /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example.

[Comment 2 Mark Loeser (RETIRED) 2009-05-04 20:37:25 UTC]

Is this reproducible at the same spot every time?  Also, there is a new version of GCC stable.  Could you please upgrade to that and rebuild binutils with that version of gcc?

I rebuilt binutils but it didn't change anything when re-emerging sandbox.

I'll have a look at that and try again; didn't know I should set them.

I was putting that off as it takes a long time to do on my old Mac B&W G3 but I'll try this. I hope I don't have to rebuild anything apart from binutils after the gcc upgrade...

Fixed by removing my CFLAGS="" in /etc/make.conf (so it got a default value of "-O2 -pipe") rather than the empty value I had. I can't remember why I had that!? (Maybe a misguided attempt to remove optimization settings for some past problem?)

Anyway, thanks for the help.
