On a fresh install, not having X build yet, I ran emerge xfce4 As part of the 60 odd packages that emerge began to build, it finally reached fontconfig, and abruptly failed. * * ERROR: media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2824: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die * The die message: * (no error message) * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if * relevant. * A complete build log is located at * '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at * '/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/fontconfig-2.6.0-r2/temp/environment'. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Fresh 2008 install via stage3 on AMD Athlon XP 1700+. emerge --sync emerge xfce4 Actual Results: Segfault with failure to build. Expected Results: Expected build to succeed, with all packages built including the XFCE4 environment. I will attach the files mentioned in the failure. The system is a Via-based motherboard with an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ processor. I have -march=athlon-xp in my make.conf CFLAGS, but I tried with i686 and it happens with that too. I had USE="ipv6 -gnome -kde -cups", and I played with that a bit, but it failed to build every time.

I retried a few minutes ago after another emerge --sync, and the package compiled this time. I'm not sure what changed, but it's now on to building the rest of what I need for X support.
There's no bug then. :)
