I also have this problem. As a workaround you can specify custom CFLAGS in /etc/portage/env/dev-libs/guile, without -O2. For example: $ cat /etc/portage/env/dev-libs/guile CFLAGS="-O1 -mcpu=7400 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -pipe" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Created attachment 172411 [details] Fix build issue on mips, mipsel, powerpc and ia64 (stack direction) Another patch to try.

Please try 1.8.6 which contains a lot of build related fixes.
Y(In reply to comment #8) > Please try 1.8.6 which contains a lot of build related fixes. Yes, guile-1.8.6 compiles fine. We also should get this stable before GCC 4.3.
I'm re-opening this bug because, AFAIK, guile-1.8.6 is not stable on ppc/ppc64 at the moment.
dev-scheme/guile-1.8.6 is now stable for ppc/ppc64. It is fixing this bug.
