hello, during an emerge -uDN process, the compilation for gcc-4.2.1 failed, as well as for glibc, with same errors. I have run revdep-rebuilt, and found out about a broken libexpat.so.0thingy, which I solved following the instruction of the gentoo irc bot. after that, compiling gcc still fails.
insn-emit.c: In function 'gen_leave': insn-emit.c:1123: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions. The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem. make[2]: *** [insn-emit.o] 1 הלקת make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 /work/build/gcc' make[1]: *** [stageprofile_build] 2 הלקת make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 /work/build/gcc' make: *** [profiledbootstrap] 2 הלקת * * ERROR: sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1654: Called dyn_compile * ebuild.sh, line 990: Called qa_call 'src_compile' * ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile * ebuild.sh, line 1334: Called toolchain_src_compile * toolchain.eclass, line 26: Called gcc_src_compile * toolchain.eclass, line 1546: Called gcc_do_make * toolchain.eclass, line 1420: Called die * * emake failed with profiledbootstrap * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 /temp/build.log'. * * Messages for package sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2: * * ERROR: sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1654: Called dyn_compile * ebuild.sh, line 990: Called qa_call 'src_compile' * ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile * ebuild.sh, line 1334: Called toolchain_src_compile * toolchain.eclass, line 26: Called gcc_src_compile * toolchain.eclass, line 1546: Called gcc_do_make * toolchain.eclass, line 1420: Called die * * emake failed with profiledbootstrap * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2 /temp/build.log'. * the callstack for the glibc failed compile looks the same. emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 i586) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 i586 AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor Timestamp of tree: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:20:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k6-2 -pipe" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=k6-2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/gentoo/ " LANG="he_IL.utf-8" LC_ALL="he_IL.utf-8" LINGUAS="he en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X alsa arts berkdb bidi bitmap-fonts cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr eds emboss encode esd fam firefox fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde ldap mad midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis win32codecs x86 xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ens1371" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse joystick" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="he en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY I'm clueless about it, but do feel that not being able to updaate gcc or glibc is bad, and will probably mean that I will not be able to update other things as well.
