AFAICT, grub doesn't remember what you did the last time.

There is [1] from 2021 also with -march, but it was worked around back then and that was several years ago. But could it be the same thing? [1] https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1129458-start-0.html It'd at least explain why the message is showing up... but while the in-tree glibc-2.38 ebuilds do not have the line added in [2], the commit to glibc-.ebuild says this is supposed to have been addressed upstream [3].

Or is the mozilla emerge stuff slightly broken on my system? I've been having trouble with those two for the last few weeks ... Cheers, Wol Here I see: [I] www-client/firefox Available versions: (esr) 115.7.0 115.8.0 (rapid) (~)122.0.1 (~)123.0 You have 115.6.0 installed which apparently is out of tree. That may be confusing emerge. You could try to un-merge firefox, depclean and re-emerge it. Hmm ... that sounds like it's been removed from the tree, then, and emerge can't cope with stuff disappearing. Surely that's a bug? Anyways, I'll try and see what happens. I was thinking something of the sort, removing firefox that is, seeing how it goes. I'll probably try the gcc thing first, though ... if that works, then it's a simpler "let it sort itself out" approach. Cheers, Wol
