--> CFLAGS='-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe' <--

Please have a look at this link http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-optimization.xml
especially this line "Using -O3 is not recommended for gcc 4.x."

so please re-try with standard and stable CFLAGS, by replacing -O3 with -O2

output of emerge --info

I didn't notice yesterday the configure message "configure: WARNING: sys/bitypes.h: present but cannot be compiled"
I use a custom kernel and modify my linux-headers for some reason, it may be related.

[Comment 7 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-10-18 10:51:59 UTC]

sounds likely.

[Comment 8 Frederic Leroy 2009-10-18 11:06:08 UTC]

after emerging sys-kernel/linux-headers, the error disappeared.
No other problem to report.

Thank you for your time :)
