Please try different versions of binutils and post the output of "dmesg | tail" after the segfault has occurred.
I received the same error. With both gentoo-sources 2.6.14-r2 and 2.6.14-r4 The problem lied with binutils. I downgraded to version sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r10 and the kernel was able to successfully compile, as far as I know. But I was unsure about having a kernel that was partially compiled with one version of binutils and partially compiled with another version. Currently, I'm compiling the kernel again (r4). If the problem reoccurs, then I'll be sure to post again. Perhaps binutils 2.16.1 should be made ~ or M~? Or maybe the newer version (which I have not yet tried) should be marked stable? I don't know much about how the Gentoo developers operate, so I really have no right to comment on that. I just thought I'd put my 2 cents in. ~Lex

Does this problem still exist with gcc-3.4.4? I'm guessing 3.3.6 produced something binutils didn't like. If so, can someone please attach their .config so we can try and reproduce this.
Created attachment 75332 [details] The .config file I reported a similar problem (Bug 114565 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug). I followed your suggestion and upgraded to gcc 3.4.4 by rebuilding the whole system using `emerge -e'. Your guess is correct---the upgrade of gcc solved the problem. I can now sucessfully compile kernel (gentoo-sources 2.6.14-r2 and 2.6.14-r5) with binutils-2.16.1. The .config file I use (see attachment).

sync up and try emerging binutils-2.16.1 with USE=vanilla ... then see if ld still crashes
Yup, that works. It produces a bzImage. Thanks!

ok ... next step is to try binutils 2.16.1-r1 and 2.16.1-r2 ... see if those both segfault still ...
Please get back to us and let us know if the problem still exists with binutils-2.16.1-r2
I believe the problem was resolved down to CFlags for me. I read a post on the gentoo forums that said to remove mcpu=i686 and recompiled. That solved the problem and the kernels were building fine again.
Reopening...
To resolve. Thanks
