This is an old and known friend, unfortunately.

Yup, CFI errors are caused by the binutils version.

The error is a bit before this, something related to 'PAGE_SIZE'
undeclared, which was part of linux-header but was removed in recent
versions.

From the top of my head:

- Force a downgrade on linux-headers (emerge -av =linux-headers-2.6.17-r2)
- Install new binutils
- Reinstall the current linux-headers
- Install new glibc

This should fix the mess, sorry for the problem. (I should write a
gentoo-alpha-faq entry for this). This should be fixed when the new
2008.0 appears.
