Doing an emerge --deep --update world last week b0rked updating about a couple of dozen packages. Evenutally I realized that the problem was gcc-4.1.2 had a supposedly executable file filled with zeros in its file-set. Masking gcc-4.1.2 and reverting to the 4.1.1 series has nearly got me going again.There is still one package which won't compile. OK I'm running ~x86 so I suppose I shouldn't complain, but This whole exercise, combined with the flame fests in here, has left me, a Gentoo user for many years, since version 1.2, feeling very upset and distinctly fiesty. Until the QA is a bit better I honestly feel I can't wholeheartedly recommend Gentoo anymore. > I'm so sick to hear people crying that noone is around to tell them what > to do..
