Caught GCC 3.2.1R6 while snagging a few things overnight, and noticed that my kernel builds would quickly die. Backed out to 3.2.1 and all works again.

cd into /usr/src/linux then make mrproper and then show me the steps you're using to compile. Also, is this a new install? eg. did you just emerge system and then proceed onto compiling the kernel? You may have to log out and then back in.
I refetched gcc 3.2.1-r6 this afternoon, noticed it pulled down a new patch, and now cannot reproduce the problem. FWIW - I had completely rebooted the system while doing my original problem diagnostics. I had rerun "make dep", tried a variety of kernel options, etc. Once I captured the output, I noticed the problem with the include. Doing a simple "make" or "make install" caused the problem to surface during the first compile. Don't know what changed, but all is well now. Kevin C.
