Problem with binutils after update

[mhodak]

After latest update bunch of utilities from binutils, that are needed for compiling stopped working. I was getting errors like these:

Code: Select all

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory

After some looking I found that all utilities in /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin were linked to non-existing 2.20.1 version of binutils, while 2.22 was installed:

Code: Select all

localhost miro # binutils-config -c
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1
localhost miro # binutils-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.22


This is clearly wrong, I fixed it by switching to the correct version of binutils

Code: Select all

binutils-config 1
source /etc/profile


I have quite a bit of Gentoo exprience, so I knew how things work and I was able to fix this on my own, but this needs to be fixed in Sabayon before it affects more people.

I've only seen one other issue of this so far, so not sure who or what. You can always file a bug for something like this.
