Emerge virtualbox fails on my system, even with a very conservative make.conf. My typical (still fairly sane) one can be found in the gentoo-forums thread I linked to. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -av virtualbox Actual Results: The failing command: @gcc -c -O2 -Wall -g -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-gcse -IInnoTek -IInnoTek/crt -Itarget-i386 -Ifpu -I/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/out/linux.x86/release/obj/src/recompiler/VBoxREM -I/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/src/VBox/VMM -I/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/src/recompiler -I/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/include -I/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/out/linux.x86/release -DVBOX -DVBOX_OSE -D__LINUX__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__X86__ -DIN_REM_R3 -DREM_INCLUDE_CPU_H -DIN_RING3 -DLOG_USE_C99 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -Wp,-MD,/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/out/linux.x86/release/obj/src/recompiler/VBoxREM/translate-op.o.dep -Wp,-MT,/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/out/linux.x86/release/obj/src/recompiler/VBoxREM/translate-op.o -Wp,-MP -o /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/out/linux.x86/release/obj/src/recompiler/VBoxREM/translate-op.o /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/src/recompiler/translate-op.c kmk[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/src/recompiler' kmk[1]: *** [pass_dlls_before] Error 2 kmk[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-1.4.0/work/VirtualBox-OSE-1.4.0/src' kmk: *** [pass_dlls_before] Error 2 retro@vince-lite ~ $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.7 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r3, 2.6.21.5-cfs-v17 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.21.5-cfs-v17 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 29 Jun 2007 07:30:01 +0000 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i486-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -pipe" CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="" LINGUAS="en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acl berkdb bitmap-fonts cli cracklib crypt cups dri fortran gdbm gpm hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog libg++ midi mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline reflection session spl ssl tcpd truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_GB" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

Looks like your toolchain is damaged as memcpy is a standard c function and should always be there, marking invalid. Though if you can reproduce it on a stable stage3, please reopen and attach a list with steps you took.
