>>> Messages generated by process 11765 on 2013-06-04 09:58:59 EEST for package sys-devel/gcc-4.8.0: ERROR: postrm The ebuild phase 'postrm' has exited unexpectedly. This type of behavior is known to be triggered by things such as failed variable assignments (bug #190128) or bad substitution errors (bug #200313). Normally, before exiting, bash should have displayed an error message above. If bash did not produce an error message above, it's possible that the ebuild has called `exit` when it should have called `die` instead. This behavior may also be triggered by a corrupt bash binary or a hardware problem such as memory or cpu malfunction. If the problem is not reproducible or it appears to occur randomly, then it is likely to be triggered by a hardware problem. If you suspect a hardware problem then you should try some basic hardware diagnostics such as memtest. Please do not report this as a bug unless it is consistently reproducible and you are sure that your bash binary and hardware are functioning properly. The 'postrm' phase of the 'sys-devel/gcc-4.8.0' package has failed with exit value 1. The problem occurred while executing the ebuild file named 'gcc-4.8.0.ebuild' located in the '/var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc-4.8.0' directory. If necessary, manually remove the environment.bz2 file and/or the ebuild file located in that directory. Removal of the environment.bz2 file is preferred since it may allow the removal phases to execute successfully. The ebuild will be sourced and the eclasses from the current portage tree will be used when necessary. Removal of the ebuild file will cause the pkg_prerm() and pkg_postrm() removal phases to be skipped entirely. >>> Messages generated by process 11765 on 2013-06-04 09:58:59 EEST for package sys-devel/gcc-4.8.1: WARN: setup LTO support is still experimental and unstable.
