Can you reproduce it, i.e. does it fail again at *exactly* the same place?
Plus OMG fix your C[XX]FLAGS, they don't make any sense whatsoever. Why do you have different -march in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS? Recompile with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentiumpro -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
These are my flags as they appear in /etc/make.conf CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" I don't know where the CFLAGS listed there came from! I'll try with your FLAGS now.

Bug is reproducable and the suggested USE flags did not help.
Damn... those are some CFLAGs... almost as bad as bug #74072. Did you build your entire system with these flags, or are they a recent addition? If you've build system packages with these flags, then likely your system is screwed -- thus changing the CFLAGs won't make a difference, you're still trying to build with the same broken libraries and tools.
I have built my whole system with these in my /etc/make.conf: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" They are based on the defaults so I don't think they can be that screwed.
Ahh okay... so there shouldn't be too many problems. I was just checking... there are some people who litter their CFLAGS with loads of settings, recompile everything, then wonder why the whole lot comes crashing down. ;-) Does it crash at approximately the same point, or at different points in the build? Is it possible to obtain a log of the build (try `script logfile.txt`, then run `exec emerge mozilla-firefox` from there.)? Also, it would appear that "gmake" is the thing doing the crashing... although I could be misreading the output. Either that, or "xpidl". Does rebuilding GNU make fix the problem?
Created attachment 98204 [details] script of the whole mozilla-firefox build
Hi, The build seems to fail in the same place pretty consistently. Here is the script file: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=98204 I will try rebuilding gmake and xpidl now and report my results.
Hi there, I just rebuilt "sys-devel/make" and this made no difference, the compile fails in the same place. Couldn't find specific packages for 'gmake' or 'xpidl'. If you let me know how to rebuild them then I'll certainly give it a go.
I just tried emerging thunderbird and it fails with the same error!
(In reply to comment #11) > Hi there, I just rebuilt "sys-devel/make" and this made no difference, the > compile fails in the same place. Hrmm okay... so it's definately the firefox code itself causing the issue. > Couldn't find specific packages for 'gmake' or 'xpidl'. If you let me know how > to rebuild them then I'll certainly give it a go. Yeah, "gmake" is short for GNU Make or sys-devel/make. It gets called "gmake" on some systems though because of other implementations of make such as BSD make, which are not entirely compatible. As for "xpidl", that's compiled by the Mozilla build system. On a successful build, it gets installed as /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/xpidl. You'll notice this is the command that gets executed to build it in your log: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o xpidl -DGENTOO_NSPLUGINS_DIR=\"/usr/lib/nsplugins\" -DGENTOO_NSBROWSER_PLUGINS_DIR=\"/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins\" -W -Wno-unused -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wno-long-long -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -Wno-return-type -w -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -pthread -pipe -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -ffunction-sections -O2 -I/usr/include/libIDL-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include xpidl.o xpidl_idl.o xpidl_util.o xpidl_header.o xpidl_typelib.o xpidl_doc.o xpidl_java.o -Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN' -L../../../dist/bin -L../../../dist/lib ../../../dist/lib/libxpt.a -lIDL-2 -lglib-2.0 -ldl -lm Some of the flags (notably -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions and -ffunction-sections) give me the willies, but I suspect the Makefiles add these. But you'll notice a few libraries linked in: o glib-2.0: provided by dev-libs/glib o IDL-2: provided by dev-libs/libIDL o dl and m: provided by sys-libs/glibc If one of those is broken, then this could explain things. The fact that it does at roughly the same point rules out hardware glitches (such as bad RAM). Have you tried rebuilding any of these packages at all? Not sure if it will fix anything or not, but it's worth a shot, if anything, to rule out these packages being at fault. Slowly but surely, I feel we're tracking this bug down. :-)
Created attachment 98227 [details] Access Violation error when emerging glibc
Eeek, I emerged those 3 packages and the last one (glibc) failed with an access violation (see attachement - http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=98227). I just did "emerge dev-libs/glib dev-libs/libIDL sys-libs/glibc" (I didn't do 'emerge -e'). I have just tried 'emerge sys-libs/glibc' and it failed with the same error. I will now try 'emerge -e sys-libs/glibc' and report my results.
Created attachment 98234 [details] GCC emerge error
More problems. Just did the 'emerge -e sys-libs/glibc' and it failed on gcc (http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=98234). No idea whats going on here, can't be a good sign the glibc and gcc fail to compile! Anyone got any suggestions?
Lots of problems and reading forums later, I have realised that my CFLAGS were set for a Pentium4, and it turns out (from looking here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Pentium_4_.28Prescott.29_.28Intel.29) that I have a Prescott. I have changed my CFLAGS accordingly and am in the process of doing an: emerge -e system && emerge -e system && emerge -e world Everything is looking much healthier now, I will report back my results, then try firefox again to see if it has resolved my problem.
firefox has now compiled successfully so I'm closing this bug!
