ok - i've found a solution. i had "-DNDEBUG -DG_DISABLE_ASSERT" (with double space) in make.conf. after change to "-DNDEBUG -DG_DISABLE_ASSERT" everything works fine. i think that kind mistakes should be automatically handled by portage nad this bug should be reassigned to portage team
1) I see nothing in this bug report that has anything to do with our security team so why it's assigned to security@ does not make sense 2) You should *NEVER* ever use -DNDEBUG in your make.conf or blindly assume that disabling asserts wont lead to major seucrity problems. Many many programmers use assert(blah != NULL) logic to ensure safety. /msg yoann on irc.freenode.net for an indepth detailed explanation. I'm include to open a bug to ensure that -DNDEBUG gets stripped from all user flags in the future.
