See this forum post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6395405.html Seems your LDFLAGS may be the culprint. Specifically this part of ssuominen's post: quote: -Wl,-s (or plain -s) breaks Portage's strip handling, FEATURES="nostrip", FEATURES="-nostrip". Also, toolchain packages, exactly like glibc handles stripping in very selective way -> Some of the installed binaries/libraries *can* be stripped, and some *cannot*. Just forcing stripping for everything is... like I said, insane
