Even trying to simply run the server in the foreground causes named to complain with "extra command line arguments":
plug bind # /usr/sbin/named -f

Uhm, please paste "qcheck -e net-dns/bind" (its part of portage-utils) as well as "/etc/init.d/named -d start" As requested:

I can't reproduce this behaviour... Can you try "named -g" too? As requested:

Hm, sorry.. but dunno.. Is everything else fine on your system? As I said, I can't reproduce it, tested all versions on a few of my systems. named (not the init script) runs fine with either -f or -g. Can you show me your /etc/conf.d/named and emerge --info please? Are you logged in as root? Also please try a fresh bind installation without any modifications in the config files.. I think it doesn't matter but who knows.. I'll change the resolution to WORKSFORME until we got more informations. Sorry I did not respond sooner, I have not had direct access to the server for 3 days and returned last night.

I'm not seeing any indication of problems elsewhere on the server. I am doing cross compiling where the target is ARM (SheevaPlug, "Plug") and I emerge on the Plug using distributed cross-compiling (distcc) which compiles on an AMD quadcore. BIND seems to be working if I invoke it manually, e.g. "/usr/sbin/named". I did try a re-emerge just before your suggestion. I'm reticent to attach the configuration file as publishing it compromises the security of my installation. Is it possible to get the configuration file, or specific information in it, to you in a way it is not public?
I did preserve the ebuild staging, so have all the source code which I can grep through. I've only dabbled in C when necessary to tweak a source and am not sure which file might contain the code handling the line parameters. If you have any suggestions or leads, I could add some debugging lines wherever named is suppose to be reading the line parameters. Just a thought. It should be in bin/named/main.c. main.c looked fine. I suspended by distributed compile by remming out FEATURES="distcc" in make.conf and then re-emerged bind (forcing it to compile on the ARM processor); now /usr/sbin/named works with the parameters and /etc/init.d/named start commences without error. I'm concluding the problem introduced comes from cross compiling (to and AMD quadcore. For the record gcc on the ARM box (native) is: plug log # gcc -v Using built-in specs.

If I have time, I could try reducing the GCC on the AMD to match the GCC on the ARM and then try cross-compiling and see if the problem reappears. I'm closing this as not a bug.
