i have a 500MHz Dual USB iBook and i am trying to install gentoo 1.2 on it. i get up the bootstrap, but when it tries to do binutils, i get an error saying:

* Please do not use this release of binutils, as it
* is very buggy (cannot even compile glibc)!!!

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Funcion pkg_setup, Line -31, Exitcode 0
!!! (no error message)

!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/sys-devel/binutils/binutils-2.12.90.0.9.ebuild .


could someone tell me what this means and how i should go about fixing it? thanks. axel.

That version should have never been released for ppc, it has been masked, so within 30 minutes if you rsync again you should be able to continue your bootsrap
