The author of DAR thought it's good idea to compress installed binaries with UPX. This conflicts with Gentoo's (and any other distro's, for that matter) installation step that strips debug information binaries. Apparently, strip truncates UPX-compressed executables to 92 bytes long nonfunctional stub. Attached patch for dar-2.1.2.ebuild fixes this by passing --disable-upx to configure. Other DAR versions in Portage are also affected, the fix is same.
