dev-lang/nasm-0.98.39-r3 doesn't recognize 'elf64' output format. Compiling media-sound/musepack-tools-1.15v with dev-lang/nasm-0.98.39-r3 ends with following error: nasm: fatal: unrecognised output format `elf64' - use -hf for a list type `nasm -h' for help make: *** [fft4gasm.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... With newest version of dev-lang/nasm it compiles without errors. Probably dependency should be added for media-sound/musepack-tools-1.15v. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dev-lang/nasm-0.98.39-r3 or former 2. Install media-sound/musepack-tools-1.15v Actual Results: The build exits with the above error. Expected Results: To compile and install without error.

=dev-lang/nasm-2.04 is stable for amd64. The musepack-tools ebuilds do not require a specific version (and should not as long as the best version gets installed). Please upgrade and reopen this bug report when that doesn't fix the issue.

So, with <dev-lang/nasm-2.03.01 installed, musepack-tools ebuild will not compile. One has to upgrade nasm ebuild manually to latest stable version before installing musepack-tools ebuild. I think it classifies as a missing-dependency case and am reopening this bug. Best regards
The rest of your system appears to be up to date, so I wonder what emerge options you use to update your system. `emerge -vuaDN --with-bdeps=y world' should be the ultimate to get the right version of nasm installed, but it should work even without `--with-bdeps=y' and that should be the default command to upgrade your system.
