Failed. Still no go today. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install system with stage 3. 2. emerge -u world 3. GCC 3 fails! Actual Results: Uh... it failed! Expected Results: Well, it should have installed no doubt. Configuration of the system: AMD Athlon 1.4GHz Thunderbird Shuttle AK31 v2.1 mobo. Latest BIOS.

Created attachment 25160 [details] Console output from 'emerge -u world' This file is huge, I assume all the important information is at the end, but included it all just in case.
what is the situation here now?
