emerging kmatplot tries to install octave 2.0.17-r2, which in turn requires g++ 2.95 to build (incidentally, neither gcc 2.95.3 r7 nor r8 build for me) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
can you paste some of your errors building gcc-2.95.3-r8 please?
<shrug> sure. I didn't report this because I didn't have time to investigate, and I found it rather suspicious that I should be the only one to hit a particular bug with building gcc, several months after the package went live. Errors are exactly the same with r7. stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -c -DIN_GCC -O2 -g -pipe -I. -I.. -I/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/java -I/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/java/.. -I/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/java/../config -I/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/java/../../include /var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/java/jcf-io.c stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -DIN_GCC -O2 -g -pipe -o ../gcjh gjavah.o jcf-io.o \ jcf-depend.o jcf-path.o zextract.o ../../libiberty/libiberty.a jcf-io.o: file not recognized: File truncated collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [../gcjh] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/build/gcc/java' make[2]: *** [gcjh] Error 2 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -DIN_GCC -O2 -g -pipe -o ../jcf-dump jcf-dump.o jcf-io.o \ jcf-depend.o jcf-path.o zextract.o ../../libiberty/libiberty.a make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/build/gcc/java' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/build/gcc' make[1]: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/build/gcc' make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2 !!!

can you get a binary package for gcc-2.95 and try compiling with that? I think that as GCC gets stricter and stricter in later versions it might get hard to compile older cruftier code, like that of GCC-2.X.
please paste #emerge info
Parallel building seems to be it.

just a stupid question: is your /var/tmp disk running full? truncated object files are most often a sign of lack of space. thanks, Alex
octave-2.1.x is working over here re-open if it doesnt work for you
