the fix.. unmerge elfuils emerge libelf $ emerge cnet elfutils is said to be a "drop in replacement" for libelf... but it doesn't work with cnet. I do not know at this stage what if any software will break by changing to libelf..all I know is recompiling cnet work AFTER elfuilts is replaced with libelf.
in portage
