3 TiBook ~# emerge --pretend xfree binutils

7 Calculating dependencies ...done!

46 The recent "stable" binutils did not have adequte testing before being
47 released (and such a core system component .. the mind boggles). You
48 should down grade to 2.13.19.0.18-r1 and inject the 2.14.90.0.2 version.
49 I have had numerious problems with 2.14.90.0.2, including failed builds
50 of the same version of xfree as above (three attempts in fact), i
51 eventually tracked it down to the recent binutils upgrade, downgrade and
52 xfree should build fine.
