1 I face the same problem so i masked binutils.I also warned toolchain team
2 about that.
3
4 In my case i didn't find the reason why portage tried to install unstable
5 2.31.1-r4 on my system.
6
7 Which package pulls it still a mystery for me .
8
9 2.30-r4 is latest stable.
10
11 I believe after "emerge -av depclean" portage will drop 2.31.1 from your
12 system.Maybe 2.29 too.
13
14 But i find this really weird.
15
16 Regards.
