When I try to compile packets, I sometimes get this error /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value I didn't find a logical link between the cases it happened... Dunno if it's a GCC, distro or binutils problem.
seems the -fPIC flag does this maybe we should add this into FAQ ?
I don't know that it means...
It seems a problem of the gnu linker, maybe a bug of binutils?
could you list the packages with this error msg ?
i.e. fam-oss mozilla I tried a lot of different CFLAGS less aggressive too, I reinstalled binutils, I tried to emerge again those packets, but nothing to do, always that error. I'm expecting some days, then I'll try with a stage2 installation :/
try in USE -pic and recompile
OK, I'm trying... if my hardware configuration can help Athlon XP2000+ Mobo Biostar M7VIT chipset VIA KT400 256 DDR ram

I just compiled fam-oss just fine. Does it still fail for you? Try this and see if it still fails: # export CFLAGS="-O" # ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/fam-oss/fam-oss-2.6.9.ebuild compile To reset your CFLAGS, just do a: # source /etc/make.conf If it doesn't fail with only -O, then try doing your original settings: # ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/fam-oss/fam-oss-2.6.9.ebuild compile To see if it is your CFLAGS. If it is, it might be a compiler bug or just a latent bug in the code that a higher optimization level exposes.
stefano, is this still an issue for you?
Try to update binutils to 2.13.90.0.18 ?
This Bug hasn't seen updates in eons. Marking as CANTFIX since the core problem appears to have never been properly identified, or it was likely something mysterious and maybe fixed in later versions of some packages. Re-open if this is not the case, but check to see if any new bugs fit better before re-opening.
