Going back to version 3.1.8, which worked before, did not help.

[Comment 2 Brandon Low (RETIRED) 2003-06-01 19:42:56 UTC]

did you recently change glibc or gcc versions? add selinux or -fstackprotector to your settings?  because a different version of procps doesn't change the compiling process at all, which leads me to conclude that something in your compiler toolchain is broken causing both versions to compile bad.

[Comment 3 Sebastian Bergmann (RETIRED) 2003-06-01 23:27:29 UTC]

Well, not recently. Anyhow, I'm installing that system from scratch now.

hello Brabndon, 
i have had the problem too. 
After changeing my CFLAGS procps ist now working.
Change your CFLAGS from 
  CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe
too
  CFLAGS=-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe

ebuilds now contain this, was an issue introduced with gcc-3.3, closing bug.
