I grepped in /var/cache/edb, nothing there, and locate binutils|grep text |
| 16 |
also showed nothing. Just in case this could mean anything. |

Then I tried emerge --metadata, and suddenly the problem is gone. Whatever |

Do you think I should file a bug, so the devs become aware of this potential |
