Problem determining endianess installing libstdc++-v3-3.3.6

I've done an emerge --sync and when I do emerge -Du world the first thing that is updated is libsdc++ but when it configures I get this:

Wow, that's a big WTF. It seems to me that GCC should know whether your processor is big or little endian based on what you have set for your architecture. I suggest checking that everywhere that you are suposed to have listed your arch, you have. ie make.conf.

Other than that, I got nothing. Perhaps one of the oddest errors that I have seen.

Yeah. It is incredibly odd, especially considering all I do is emerge -Du world from time to time. I never hand-modify anything and it's worked in the past. Oh yes, and I alredy posted my make.conf and it is correct. Well, I assume it's correct since it's been working dandy until now.

Is this the only package that gives this error? (Can you re-emerge something you already have installed.)

What is the output of

After I synced today there was an ebuild above libstdc++ and it emerged fine, but I haven't tried re-emerging anything yet.

The ls -l /etc/make.profile gives me this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Apr 8 12:55 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/

Yes I have done env-update and source /etc/profile but not ldconfig. I've done that and I'm trying again right now...

The beginning of the configure looks like this:

Its says mpcu= is deprecated. Use march= and/or mtune= instead in /etc/make.conf

In other words change

Thanks, I'm sure that fixes something! I was tired of getting those warnings. I triend march and mtune as 386 and 686 and all 4 wouldn't compile. The configure goes just fine, the problem is when it configures GCC, maybe that's the problem but I don't know enough. Sorry to post such long posts but here is the code for the GCC configure:

I had gcc and libstdc++ in /etc/portage/package.keywords and I took them both out and it is still giving me this error, except now, gcc wont downgrade because it wont compile.

I hate to bump like this but it's been a long time. I've searched everywhere (again) to find the answer. Isn't there suposed to be a header somewhere that defines endianness? This is the most insane error I've ever seen...

I've RE-researched the internet and these forums for answers but I haven't been able to find anything. I'm really wanting to update my system but it can't compile anything. It looks like I have two options: Re-install gentoo or pull the trump card.

Pulling the trump card is possible usually only in the Linux community. The way it works is I make a post saying "Linux sucks, windows is so much better because I don't get stupid errors like this: <input my error>". After which, a swarm of angry and Linux-savy people will post solutions. I know this works as I have seen it done. Someone was unable to get his question answered on many groups and forums so he finally just said windows was a far superior operating system in all ways because linux lacked some functionality and Ph.Ds swarmed him with lengthy articles describing how to do everything he wanted.

What exactly is the error you're having now? (I seem to see two separate ones posted above). And could you repost your /etc/make.conf, just so I can see for sure the changes you've made? No guarantees I can help, but I'll try.

That's actually quite funny that you'd be having troubles with that specific file... I switched to Gentoo from Mandrake because NOTHING that required that dependency worked. All of them said I needed to update it... which of course there isn't the ease of 'emerge' commands on mandrake... My best guess would be that it's a file problem and not your system. Or check your mirrorlist you run your updates from.

Good luck

Thank you very much for your replies. The error is very simple. Every time I try to compile anything, when it configures, it gives me this error:

It strikes me as odd that you have march=i686, but CHOST=i386-pc-linux-gnu, but I don't know if it's actually a problem. If you have a Pentium 4, you could try setting march=pentium4 (I'm sure there's an athlon equivalent, too). Other than that, I don't know.

I recently changed march from i386 to i686 and forgot to change CHOST. I'll change it and see if anything happens. Updating my kernel didn't have any effect either (didn't think it would).

I lost internet for a long time but I got it back today, did an emerge sync and updated portage. I still can't figure out how to get rid of this "checking byte ordering" problem.
