I have [I] sys-devel/binutils Available versions: (2.25.1) 2.25.1-r1 (2.26.1) (~)2.26.1 (2.27) (~)2.27 (git) **9999 {cxx multitarget nls static-libs test vanilla zlib} Installed versions: 2.25.1-r1(2.25.1)(01:06:59 AM 01/11/2017)(cxx nls zlib -multitarget -static-libs -test -vanilla) 2.26.1(2.26.1)(07:16:43 AM 12/27/2016)(cxx nls -multitarget -static-libs -test -vanilla) 2.27(2.27)(07:23:40 AM 12/27/2016)(cxx nls -multitarget -static-libs -test -vanilla) But only one version of sys-libs/bin-utils-libs But I found binutils-config and just switched from 2.25-r1 to 2.27, so I will see what happens. So, after removing the old versions of binutils, the preserved-rebuild problem went away! Thanks all for all your help on that . Now I have to somehow deal with the gst-plugins-ffmpeg. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com
