Kdebase and arts fails to compile with binutils 2.15.92.0.2 on AMD64. Kdebase fails with this: /bin/sh ../../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -Wl,-O1 -O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fweb -fPIC -DPIC -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -fno-enforce-eh-specs -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wl,-O1 -o libkfontinst.la -rpath /usr/kde/3.3/lib -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/kde/3.3/lib -R /usr/kde/3.3/lib -R /usr/qt/3/lib -R /usr/lib64 -no-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined CompressedFile.lo Encodings.lo FontEngine.lo Fontmap.lo GetPid.lo Global.lo KfiConfig.lo Misc.lo XConfig.lo ../../fonts/libkxftconfig.la -lfontenc -lkio -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lz -lz /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .libs/Fontmap.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `std::basic_ifstream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::basic_ifstream(char const*, std::_Ios_Openmode)@@GLIBCXX_3.4' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [libkfontinst.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.3.2-r1/work/kdebase-3.3.2/kcontrol/kfontinst/lib' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.3.2-r1/work/kdebase-3.3.2/kcontrol/kfontinst' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.3.2-r1/work/kdebase-3.3.2/kcontrol' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdebase-3.3.2-r1/work/kdebase-3.3.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. And arts fails with a similar message. More info about this problem can be found in these forum threads: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2025714 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=284001 The solution is to downgrade binutils to the last stable: 2.15.90.0.1. I'm setting this bug to "major" since it's the stable binutils that fails.

drop the PIC and linker crap from your CFLAGS and try again
