For others who may have encountered the infinite-emerge-binutils problem, let me report that (as I am sure andreas knows) the depclean fixes that problem while purging the masked versions of binutils. Would that the depclean likely have fixed the infinite-emerge-binutils problem several months ago when it first appeared. I don't remember seeing it proposed. Once again, thank you! allan
