Ok, I noticed a problem with binutils:
beta profiles # emerge -u world --pretend
These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
Calculating world dependencies -
!!! Error: couldn't find match for sys-devel/binutils in update (likely
old /var/db/pkg entry)
----------------------
So, I did some looking, and I noticed in
/usr/portage/profiles/default-ppc-1.0/packages, line 36:
# arrrrggg someone in x86 land unmsked a non working on ppc binutils
build
# Gerk - June 12 2002
>=sys-devel/binutils-2.12.90.0.9
----------------------
But then at the top of package.mask:
=sys-devel/binutils-2.12.90.0.9
----------------------
So, for kicks, I unmaked binutils, and I get:
>>> emerge sys-devel/binutils-2.12.90.0.9 to /
>>> md5 ;-) binutils-2.12.90.0.9.tar.bz2
*
* Please do not use this release of binutils, as it
* is very buggy (cannot even compile glibc)!!!
*
So, I'm wondering whats up with binutils. Portage is effectively saying
that there are no appropriate versions of binutils to install for the
ppc (2.12.90.0.9 is the most recent ebuild).
