The abosolute only way I got that to quit telling me about a rebuild about some dumb program was to uninstall and reinstall. You won't be uninstalling using "emerge -av --depclean =sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.27" becuase there will be dependancies. You would have to "emerge -C =sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.27" You can either reinstall it using "revdep-rebuild" or "emerge -1av =sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.27" Be warned the strip command is also part of the package. If I am not mistaken strip is also used in building program to strip away un-needed symbols and sections from files. -- Willie L Matthews matthews.willi...@gmail.com 702-659-9966
