During the upgrade to sys-devel/binutils-2.16.1 I got the following message * /usr/bin/binutils-config: Refusing to uninstall native binutils but the package is merged. However, after that, ld et al. are not available. Manually calling /usr/bin/binutils-config 1 to switch to the i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1 binutils profiles fixes that.

The severity for this bug should be 'blocker' IMHO. It breaks gcc, stops most packages from emerging, and stops development.

I fixed the problem on my computer by calling /usr/bin/binutils-config -d i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1 This seemed to update the links from what were the equivalent of this which may just be an ebuild problem, I am not sure however /usr/bin/binutils-config -d i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16 It seems the .1 was missing from the end as the symlinks came up without it.
there is a typo in the eclass ${choice/*} instead of ${choice/\*}
