I have to x86-machines: AthlonXP 2600 and a notebook Pentium III (Dell Latitude c610). On the Athlon nspr-4.7.3 compiles fine, on the notebook it fails. The USE-Flags are almost the same on both machines. Reproducible: Always

It might be a distcc problem most likely, but in general, here I'd be asking the maintainers of the package to _pretty please_ be less funny and more informative on their die messages. Thanks.
I've fixed the fail msg. Can you try without distcc?

Something is wrong with your compiler then... Do this: mkdir tmp && cd tmp echo > test.c gcc -c test.c -o test.o file test.o And post your results
You're right. When do the proposed procedure, I get a segmentation fault. So I re-emerged the toolchain (gcc, binutils, glibc), but it didn't help. I get the error again. So I don't have any idea where's the rub.
Thx, at least I found the error with your hint. sys-apps/file was defect. After reinstalling file everything works again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
