And what about segfaults in conftest and libglib? Happened sometime ago. Http://bpaste.net/show/34833 Would a complete fresh install of gentoo do any good? There are still some 200+ packages left to build. Also, can it be by chance a loose connection in some of the component? <offtopic> I got a new adata ssd recently and this is getting bad now. Though it has 3 year warranty, but still I wanted to keep it as long as possible. With this many number of writes it would die soon. Probably on 1 day past when the 3rd year ends as it usually happens. </offtopic> I've got so addicted to gentoo's customization that it was even hard to install arch from where I entered the world of rolling release distros.
