Hi Heiko, ...sorry my question was unclear. Suppose one would do an emerge @world...and then BOOOM! a powerfailyre would stop the whole thing. Further suppose the filesystem, the hardware and anything has survived luckily -- only emerge @world needs to be restarted. And one does NOT an emerge --resume but an emerge @world. In this particular case...how does emerge knows from the previous emerge @world what packages has been recompiled already and are "PIE"? How can I check, whether a binary is "PIE"-conform ("pie-conform" is a freaky funny language hack :) ;) ) ? Cheers Meino
