there are some object files from other arch in that tarball. this will
stop make from building them at compile time. the devs already know
about this issue, i heard them talking about that in #gentoo-dev

[Comment 2 Sven Wegener 2004-05-08 08:08:40 UTC]

has been fixed with bug 50430, 3 hours ago

emerge sync and then try again
