mr_bones please assign gcc & glibc bugs to gcc-porting

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -funroll-loops -pipe" 

This is a pentium2 system according to the topic and your emerge info
-march=pentium3 kinda will break things on a pentium2...

Clarification needed...

Thanks Andrew... I am infact running a PII - I must have done a careless etc-update.  I've updated my make.conf and will know if gcc compiles sucessfully.

Chalk this one up to user error.

Suggested Workaround:

1) Increase caffeine doseage for late night emerges.
2) Check config files if you have a problem (especially if you're posting them with a bug)
3) Decrease marijuana consumption in the A.M.
