Installing from the x86 Basic LiveCD, I downloaded the Athlon XP stage2 tarball (and I have an Athlon XP) and following the installation guide, I did 'emerge system'. When it got to PAM it failed due to an illegal instruction. Changing my CHOST from i686-pc-linux-gnu to i586-pc-linux-gnu and removing the berkdb USE flag seemed to solve the problem. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from x86 Basic LiveCD 2. follow installation guide using Athlon XP stage2 tarball 3. emerge system Actual Results: sys-devel/pam-0.77 failed to compile due to an illegal instruction Expected Results: emerged pam !!! No gcc found. You probably need to 'source /etc/profile' to update !!! the environment of this terminal and possibly other terminals also.
