I'm going to attach a small html file which allows me to reproduce the bug in the next comment. This bug causes any web page that uses a css stylesheet to crash epiphany, so it's safe to say it makes epiphany unusable. I just emerge gnome-2.14 as it became stable on amd64. My system is mostly stable apart from Xorg (using ~amd64's 7.1) and a couple of apps (koffice, octave, mplayer-bin...). I'm seeing the bug with : www-client/epiphany-2.14.2.1-r1 USE="doc firefox python -debug" and www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4 USE="gnome ipv6 xprint -debug -java -mozdevelop -xinerama" Firefox itself is working just fine.

Created attachment 92162 [details] minimal test case causing the bug Just running $ epiphany epiphany_bug.html makes epiphany start then crash and the gnome bug buddy appears.
Created attachment 92164 [details] Backtrace as provided by bug-buddy Although I use split-debug, it looks quite difficult to read. I also tried running epiphany in gdb but for some reason I can't get to the point where the page is loaded then. I receive several SIG33 (Real-time event 33, I don't know what this means ??!) and then it hangs, before even opening a window or anything.
For the record, just loading www.google.com makes it crash as it uses css stylesheets, it's not just crashing on the weird test case provided ;-)
Just for the sake of it, could you try rebuilding epiphany with your CFLAGS set to "-02 -pipe" ? I had it segfault on me using just "-Os", I fear epiphany is becoming quite chilly about some flags. R

As shown in the emerge --info, my CFLAGS are -march=k8 -O0 -pipe -g. Do you mean I should just remove -march=k8, or would you like to also remove -g and replace -O0 by -O2 ? I'll try this evening (if I get your answer beforehand of course...) Bon apr

Yeah, comment out your old CFLAGS entirely and replace them with "-O2 -pipe". <french>Bonne apr

Ok, it worked, I recompiled with CFLAGS="-02 -pipe" and the crash disappeared. Thanks for the advice. As I emerged quite a lot of stuff since then (I didn't realise but my system was still a mix of gnome 2.12 and 2.14), maybe I'll try again with CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe (-g)" just to be sure. I'm unsure how should this be resolved, maybe there should be some CFLAG filtering done in the ebuild ?
Yeah, epiphany has a lot of issues with compile flags; I'll open a new bug (here and over at gnome) to keep a collection an eye on those flags. I'll check with gnome maintainers for the right course of action :) Thanks for your time
CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -g" seems to works ... Note that I just had a very similar problem with yelp. It crashed while loading a help file and the backtrace looked a lot like the one I provided for epiphany. Recompiling it with -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -g also fixed it. Maybe it's the "--march=k8 -O0" combination that causes problems, I must admit it's a weird combination. I had set it up temporarily for an app I needed to debug more accurately and then I forgot to set it back.
local issue with cflags.
