1 On one of my machines I see
2
3 gottlieb@E6430 ~ $ eselect binutils list
4 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.28.1 *
5 [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.29.1
6 [3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.30
7 [4] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.31.1

9 But I also see
10
11 gottlieb@E6430 ~ $ eix -I -e binutils
12 [?] sys-devel/binutils
13 ...
14 (2.28.1) [M]2.28.1
15 (2.29.1) [M]2.29.1-r1
16 (2.30) 2.30-r4
17 (2.31) 2.31.1-r4 ~2.31.1-r5
18 ...

20 So I am using a masked version of binutils, which seems bad.
21
22 I presume I should do
23 eselect binutils set 4
24
25 I am asking for confirmation since I realize breaking binutils
26 is not fun.

28 thank you,
