There's no error in the output you've posted.
After this output, emerge silently dies and returns me to the command prompt. What other info can I provide?
Created attachment 74686 [details] screen log of failed emerge I don't know if this is helpful, but I've attached a screen log of the failed emerge.
Thats odd. It seems that your kernel is killing the compiler/process behind it, causing it to just go up and die. Look at dmesg to see if you run into OOM or otherwise. "terminating" isn't a message I recognize, and since portage doesn't start to spew out its "aborted.." backlog, it means that by this time, the emerge process is already dead. I'm afraid I cannot help anything here, since theres nothing in the -build- process that is executed or that fails inherently, but the linking stage of gcc/binutils.
I think the "terminating" message is a result of ending the screen session, not related to the build process. In any event, I tried to emerge this package again, and it worked. The only thing I can think of as being different is that tried the emerge via ssh rather than from my full-blown XFCE desktop. This would seem to lend support to the idea that it could have been an OOM issue. However, I had successfully emerged other, much larger packages (such as all of KDE) without these problems. Very weird, but working fine now. Thank you for your help.
