[gentoo-alt] gentoo prefix bootstrap fails on emerge sys-devel/binutils-2.21.51.0.6

[Ricky Egeland]

Hi,

I am trying to install Gentoo Prefix on a Centos 5.5 system.  I was following the instructions word-for-word here:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-solaris.xml

But ran into trouble at

$ % emerge --oneshot --nodeps binutils

Details and `emerge --info` are below.  It looks like it's due to a missing file called '/config.sub', but I'm not sure the best way to resolve this.

As an aside, these instructions are for Solaris but recommended for non-gentoo Linux users.  Maybe I could go ahead without building binutils (among other things) and use them from the base OS?

Thanks,
Ricky
