The hard drive failed in an old system of mine, and I'm trying to rebuild it on a newer hard drive. I can't seem to get through the installation process because I keep running into inexplicable errors when I try to use portage. For example, when I try to install the kernel (for the first time), cpio fails to build:

Code:
 * Failed to run scanelf (unknown syscall)
 * Please upgrade pax-utils with:
 *  PORTAGE_NO_SCANELF_CHECK=1 emerge -v1 app-misc/pax-utils
 * Aborting to avoid corrupting metadata
 * ERROR: app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1::gentoo failed:
 *   misc-functions.sh: Failed to run scanelf! Update pax-utils?
 *
 * Call stack:
 *   misc-functions.sh, line 670:  Called install_qa_check
 *   misc-functions.sh, line 188:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *                                      die "${0##*/}: Failed to run scanelf! Update pax-utils?"
 *
 * If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1::gentoo'`,
 * the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1::gentoo'`.
 * The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1/temp/environment'.
 * Working directory: '/var/tmp/portage/app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1/image'
 * S: '/var/tmp/portage/app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1/work/cpio-2.12'


I ran into a similarly inexplicable error with ncurses while trying to update @world, so I just gave up on the world update and tried to move on.

Here's emerge -pqv output:
Code:
livecd ~ # emerge -pqv '=app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1::gentoo'
[ebuild  N    ] app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1  USE="nls"

 * IMPORTANT: 9 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news read to view new items.



And here's my emerge --info:
Code:
livecd ~ # emerge --info '=app-arch/cpio-2.12-r1::gentoo'

My build log is at https://pastebin.com/MtvDnRi3

Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here? This is essentially a fresh install, except that I copied my make.conf over, but this is all it has in it:
Code:
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3"

# NOTE: This stage was built with the bindist Use flag enabled
PORTDIR="/usr/portage"
DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles"
PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages"

# This sets the language of build output to English.
# Please keep this setting intact when reporting bugs.

I should add: I tried re-emerging pax-utils as the error suggested, but it reported an error about not being able to run scanelf after the build - Failed to run scanelf (unknown syscall) - and it didn't fix this problem.

Did you try PORTAGE_NO_SCANELF_CHECK=1 emerge -v1 app-misc/pax-utils?

If that's no good, please file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org.

This is an extremely old kernel for such a recent glibc. glibc and/or scanelf may be assuming the presence of syscalls added since 3.10 was released in June 2013. Can you readily get a more recent kernel?
