just because it happens during a gnome emerge doesn't mean it's a gnome problem. internal compiler errors point to optimizations or hardware problems, especially if it is not exactly reproducable. You might want to look at that. I assume you already tried a second time building ?
Tried 3 times and always received same result. Machine in question is a IBM ThinkPad T22, with a P3@1GHz + 512MB RAM.

try to remerge glib-1.2, append a complete emerge.log and emerge info
This worked. :) Thanks! I remerged glibc and then ran emerge -uv ghostscript and it went through okay.
fine -> close :)
Just as an after comment: seemed to fix also my vmware instability problem. Interesting that it manifested itself in such a way and I do not remember having any problems with glibc compilation the last time. Also now my evolution summary seems to have started working as well. :)
