Make fails with this msg:- In file included from uniname.c:42 uninames.h:40382: internal compile error in output_constant, at varasm.c:4614 ERROR: sys-devel/gettext-0.11.5 failed. function src_compile, line -257, exitcode 2 no error message Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: immediately reruning bootstrap.sh will reproduce a similar error in texinfo-4.3- r1 echo-area.c:in function 'build_completions': echo-area.c:1290: internal compiler error in verify_wide_reg, at flow.c:557 If I reboot and continue the installation from where bootstrap.sh left off it may go onto the next step (binutils) it may exit again. As the problem is intermitant I have no idea on how to isolate the problem. Essentially though I have not been able to build gentoo linux yet as it will always fail somewhere in bootstrap.sh Expected Results: a bootstapped system so I can continue the installation process. the system i'm trying to install on is a AMD 400Mhz K6-3 with 128+64MB SDram I'm using an old Basic install cd (It has stage1-ix86-1.1a.tbz2 on it) to get the system up and then download the latest stage1-x86-1.4_rc4.tar.bz2 from www.oregonstate.edu
After downloading the latest Live CD and trying to install from both a stage2 and a stage3 tarball the system was still failing to install. Segmentation faults while extracting the stage3 tarball indicated the problem was hardware. After a little playing with the hard drive, power supply and RAM the fault was localised to an incompatibility with the 128MB+64MB combination (Fine by themselves, they didn't play well together). My Gentoo system has now been built on AMD 400Mhz K6-3 with 128MB from a stage1 tarball.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
