My CHOST is:
# grep CHOST /etc/make.conf
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"


never changed...
# gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *


Anyone could help me?

TIA,
Arnau

It appears that you may have changed your CHOST at some point in the
past - if so, you may want to try rebuilding sys-libs/libperl and
dev-lang/perl, which may fix this error (you might want to try that even
if you *haven't* changed your CHOST, just in case).

Did it, and got same error...

 my system is 2 days old and comes from frsh install, no CHOST changes,
 sure.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi had to rebuild all perl related packages as they were compiled with
486 CHOST (not sure how it happenend, maybe wrong stage?¿?)



I found packages:
equery belongs /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-linux/

HTH to otehr with same problem... but maybe is better to check wiki for
doc how to change CHOST flag.

Cheers,
Arnau
