11 This seems to be working for just about everyone else. So maybe providing some technical info for your system would be helpful?
12
13 I mean, standard stuff like "emerge --info" output or the versions of ncurses, binutils and gcc that are installed (including useflags)?
14
15 > 2. LD cannot find ncurses, -- It simply can't, in 64 bit mode either.

22 If you kept your system updated all the time, you shouldnt have any problems.

26
27 Define low-level issue. What was broken all the time that you ignored?
28
29 > 2. It sent out a profile that sets variable ABI_x86 with 32 bit enabled.

35
36 You're still not providing the slightest bit of useful information.
37
38 What happens if you try to generate a 32bit executable?
39 What gcc are you using, with what settings?
