We don't really support -O3 builds so there is no reason for us to change the ebuild. It would be interesting to know if it is a problem with the code or with the compiler, but to tell that you'll have to provide the full build log.
So please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
Sorry about the lack of updates here, I didn't notice this was needinfo'd on me. Unfortunately a lot has changed since I experienced this bug so I can't really reproduce it. However, looking at genlop -t : Fri Jun 15 23:12:45 2012 >>> dev-scheme/guile-1.8.8-r1 merge time: 33 seconds. Sun Mar 3 02:33:19 2013 >>> dev-scheme/guile-1.8.8-r1 merge time: 39 seconds. Mon Aug 5 20:48:02 2013 >>> dev-scheme/guile-1.8.8-r1 merge time: 1 minute and 10 seconds. The Jun 15 2012 compile is with -O2, and the reason why I opened this bug. The Mar 3 2013 compile is with -O3 full rebuild of @world with gcc-4.7.2. The August 5 compile is -O3 full rebuild of @world with gcc-4.8.1. So I'm guessing the GCC 4.6->4.7 upgrade fixed this issue (compiler issue).
