7 The temacs binary built with either of them breaks in the same way as before.
8 I'm currently rebuilding glibc and GCC with binutils-2.16.91.0.4, since:
9 1) The system is built with binutils-2.16.90.0.3.
10 2) Emacs built with binutils-2.16.90.0.3 works (sort of).
11 3) Emacs doesn't build with any other binutils version.
12
13 Hypothesis: Emacs needs to be built with the same binutils as something else.
14 Check: Rebuild system with 2.16.91.0.4, rebuilding Emacs works.
15
16 Hypothesis: Emacs only builds with 2.16.90.0.3 (of those versions >= 2.16.1
17 available in Portage).
18 Check: Rebuild system with 2.16.91.0.4, rebuilding Emacs fails, downgrade to
19 binutils-2.16.90.0.3, rebuilding Emacs works.

21 Hmm. While I was writing that, the build of glibc with binutils-2.16.91.0.4
22 failed with:

32 New plan: Rebuild everything with binutils-2.16.1 instead of 2.16.91.0.4. That
33 should only take a week...
