This is the most I could grab, this was a huge text dump: the routers when the system is booted. When -s is specified rdisc exits with a non-zero exit code if it can not find any routers. This can be overridden with the -f option. -tTest mode. Do not go to background. -vBe verbose i.e. send lots of debugging messages to syslog. -VPrint version and exit. HISTORYThis program was developed by Sun Microsystems (see copyright notice in source file). It was ported to Linux by Alexey Kuznetsov kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru.SEE ALSOicmp7, inet7, ping8.REFERENCESDeering, S.E.,ed "ICMP Router Discovery Messages", RFC1256, Network Information Center, SRI International, Menlo Park, Calif., September 1991.SECURITYrdisc requires CAP_NET_RAWIO to listen and send ICMP messages and capability CAP_NET_ADMIN to update routing tables. AVAILABILITYrdisc is part of iputils package and the latest versions are available in source form for anonymous ftp ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iputils-current.tar.gz.pg38iputils-020124pg3, ipg, pgsetsend stream of UDP packetssource ipgpgpgsetCOMMANDDESCRIPTIONipg is not a program, it is script which should be sourced to bash. When sourced it loads module pg3 and exports a few of functions accessible from parent shell. These macros are pg to start packet injection and to get the results of run; and pgset to setup packet generator.pgset can send the following commands to module pg3:COMMANDodev DEVICEName of Ethernet device to test. See warning below. pkt_size BYTESSize of packet to generate. The size includes all the headers: UDP, IP, MAC, but does not account for overhead internal to medium, i.e. FCS and various paddings. frags NUMBEREach packet will contain NUMBER of fragments. Maximal amount for linux-2.4 is 6. Far not all the devices support fragmented buffers. count NUMBERSend stream of NUMBER of packets and stop after this. ipg TIMEIntroduce artificial delay between packets of TIME microseconds. dst IP_ADDRESSSelect IP destination where the stream is sent to. Beware, never set this address at random. pg3 is not a toy, it creates really tough stream. Default value is 0.0.0.0. dst MAC_ADDRESSSelect MAC destination where the stream is sent to. Default value is 00:00:00:00:00:00 in hope that this will not be received by any node on LAN. stopAbort packet injection. WARNINGWhen output device is set to some random device different of hardware Ethernet device, pg3 will crash kernel.Do not use it on VLAN, ethertap, VTUN and other devices, which emulate Ethernet not being real Ethernet in fact.AUTHORpg3 was written by Robert Olsson robert.olsson@its.uu.se.SECURITYThis can be used only by superuser.This tool creates floods of packets which is unlikely to be handled even by high-end machines. For example, it saturates gigabit link with 60 byte packets when used with Intel's e1000. In face of such stream switches, routers and end hosts may deadlock, crash, explode. Use only in test lab environment.AVAILABILITYpg3 is part of iputils package and the latest versions are available in source form for anonymous ftp ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iputils-current.tar.gz.make[1]: *** [arping.html] Error 8 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/iputils-020124-r1/work/iputils/doc' make: *** [html] Error 2 !!!

so why couldnt you grab more ? `emerge iputils >& log` and post the log as an attachement
Below find the asked for log, thanks for the tip.
Created attachment 6637 [details] log of iputils emerge failure
emerged 020927 , compiles fine now. Thanks!
