I'm re-installing my system from scratch. But since I'd like to multi-task as long as possible, I'm installing the new Gentoo-system from within my current one (instead of the LiveCD). This shouldn't matter, but it might... I also tried to use distcc while bootstrapping. I have a problem compiling gcc 3.3.5.20050130-r1. these are the steps I took, and the result: * stage 1 * bootstrap * emerge -e system * gcc fails * emerge --resume * gcc fails * rm /usr/portage/distfiles/gcc* * emerge --resume * gcc successful * stage 1 * bootstrap * gcc fails * disable distcc * boostrap successful Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: unknown... It might have something to do with distcc... the error I got the first time, see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-366682.html other failures gave a different error, but at the same file (protector.o) and I was clumsy enough to loose them...
emerge --info missing.

Most likely a problem with MAKEOPTS=-j9. Set it lower, -j1 or -j2 should work just fine. We force -j1 when using profiledbootstrap for gcc >=3.4, and we might want to think about doing something similar here.
You're probabely right, since I only got these errors with distcc (and then the higher -j option to make use of those other machines). Should I verify it? since -j1 actualy disables distcc, it brings me to the normal build, which always was succesful.
This is fixed if you use a reasonable MAKEOPTS value.
I suggest that the ebuild should limit the MAKEOPTS itself. There are other ebuilds that disable this, because (they too) they won't compile that way.
