	Ran python-updater and now every time I try and run emerge, emerge 
--help, emerge --version, emerge --update etc, all I get output to the 
screen is "Segmentation fault" and then back to the command prompt. I 
can start up the Python interpreter and get it to print "Hellow World", 
the limit of my Python knowledge.

	I can remmeber yesterday, before all of this started, emerging 
something and seeing some output saying that "-mcpu" was depricated and 
that I should use "-march". I changed that then subsequently did the 
emerge of python then the python-updater, now I get the "Seg fault" problem.

	Now if I try to run python-updater I get an error about PORTDIR not 
existing, that I should run "portageq portdir" and see the output. I run 
this and I get the seg fault again.

	Looks like I'm going to have to look into doing a manual rebuild of 
portage - bumma!!!
