> GNU ld version 2.16.1 Clearly won't work; use binutils-config to switch to a supported binutils version.
Um...how? playground ~ # eselect binutils list Installed binutils for target i686-pc-linux-gnu [1] 2.18 * playground ~ # Saying it "clearly won't work" doesn't mean anything to me. There's nothing "clear" about it from my non-guru perspective.
For good measure: playground ~ # binutils-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.18 * playground ~ # binutils-config -c i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.18 playground ~ #
Okay, after doing some digging, despite what eselect binutils and binutils-config is telling me, everything is symlinked wrong in /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin (pasted below...note that ldscripts target does not exist). How might this have happened, how do I fix it (do I manually re-do each of these symlinks or something else, and are there any others on the system I should be changing too), and how might I fix any brokenness that might be on my system as a result? playground i686-pc-linux-gnu # ls -al bin total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 424 2007-03-02 16:57 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 152 2006-02-13 23:24 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 2007-03-02 16:57 addr2line -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/addr2line lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-03-02 16:57 ar -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/ar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-03-02 16:57 as -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/as lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2007-03-02 16:57 c++filt -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/c++filt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 2007-03-02 16:57 gprof -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/gprof lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-03-02 16:57 ld -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/ld lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 2007-03-02 16:57 ldscripts -> /usr/lib/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.16.1/ldscripts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2007-03-02 16:57 nm -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/nm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2007-03-02 16:57 objcopy -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/objcopy lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2007-03-02 16:57 objdump -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/objdump lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 2007-03-02 16:57 ranlib -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/ranlib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2007-03-02 16:57 readelf -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/readelf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 2007-03-02 16:57 size -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/size lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2007-03-02 16:57 strings -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/strings lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 2007-03-02 16:57 strip -> /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.16.1/strip
Running binutils-config again to specify 2.18 (despite it saying I was already using 2.18) seems to have fixed the symlinks. Feel free to close, but hopefully you can answer my question about whether there's anything else I need to do to my system to make it sane as a result of whatever went wrong.
There's nothing we'd fix here; use binutils-config.
