I had that problem ....

You need to emerge a earlier version of binutils ...

ok, so I have to edit bootstrap.sh, right?

the error message was:
Quote:
*** BFD does not support target i386-pc-none.
*** Look in bfd/config.bfd for supported targets.
make: *** [configure-opcodes] Error 1

!!! ERROR: sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.18 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 83, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)


so the binutils-2.13.90.0.18.ebuild is wrong for my system.
do I have to change the following within bootstrap.sh
Code:
myBINUTILS=`cat ${MYPROFILEDIR}/packages | grep -v '^#' | grep sys-devel/binutils | sed 's:^\*::'`


to
Code:
myBINUTILS=`cat ${MYPROFILEDIR}/packages | grep -v '^#' | grep sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.16 | sed 's:^\*::'`

then?

or where can I switch to a different ebuild?

oh sorry. I think I now understood..
so I changed the line
Code:
"*>=sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.4"

in /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/packages to
Code:
"*=sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.16"


and then try if this version works.
or I have to readjust to the next lesser version.

thanks a lot!

ok, I found the problem's origin.. :oops:

I put CHOST=i386 which is ought to be CHOST=i386-pc-linux-gnu
maybe someone should put all valid possible entries in the comments of make.conf?

thanks anyway!
