If it doesn't take too long, please, what is 'multilib'? I have a full 32-bit chroot on my system since AMD64 doesn't support flash, etc. Could this be related to that somehow?
Maybe. Put simply, multilib is the feature of portage that rebuilds all (most?) libraries twice, once for /lib32, and once for /lib64, to support 32-bit and 64-bit applications respectively. Unless you are using a no-multilib sub-profile (which you are not), it is normal that sandbox will attempt to be built as a 32-bit version. The problematic point seems to be this test in the sandbox configuration: checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... no If that says yes, for example because you have a cross-compiler installed, then you can have some problems to build the 32-bit version of sandbox. Thus why unmerging any cross-compilers or removing any stale i686-pc-linux-gnu-* links works around the problem.

This bothers me slightly...my output has [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r1 USE="gcj (-altivec) -bootstrap -build -doc -fortran -gtk (-hardened) -ip28 -ip32r10k -mudflap (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nls -nocxx -objc -objc++ -objc-gc -test -vanilla" 0 kB Notice the masked use flags multilib/n32/n64...you should be seeing the same things regardless of the profile. Maybe this is just due to differences in portage versions...I'm on 2.1.1 here. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
