Did you by any chance emerge gcc with the "vanilla" useflag enabled? I am asking since I had similar problems when I was installing gentoo-prefix on CentOS a few weeks ago. Gcc 4.5.3 wouldn't compile without the "vanilla" useflag enabled, so I enabled it. After that many packages failed to compile since they were being linked against system libraries instead of the prefix ones. What I did is mask gcc versions that are too new (>4.2.4 in my case) to be compatible with the CentOs glibc. Best, Martin
