Solar's one-liner is likely working perfectly here. The one-liner just
doesn't find any binaries with the ancient SSP symbol, and thus args
for qfile are empty -- leading into qfile printing its usage.

Everything seems to be just fine there, so we might need to back up to
the point where you decided that this bug was a match for your
problem. Did you get the same error? From which program exactly? Have
you installed binaries that are not in portage's installed files'
lists?
