Hey, at least I'm in good company if my old friend Paul Hartman sees |
| 17 |
the same thing. :-) |

There is a patch to the binutils.eselect file here that worked for me: |

Before patching (if you do at all - I recommend you don't patch unless |
| 24 |
you just want to) run this command in the directory you are running |
| 25 |
eselect in. (For me it was just /root) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
echo -* |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
On a 'good' machine it returns |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
-q |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
On a 'bad' machine here it returns |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
--help -q |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I don't think the machine is really bad. I think eselect was likely |
| 38 |
just not being selective enough about how it works with whatever is in |
| 39 |
the directory or search path? Not sure. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
If you see something different you might add it to the bug report but |
| 42 |
I suspect we've got the same issue. |

Cheers, |
