Hi, I tried to upgrade to gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215, but the merge lasted for than 8 hours on my iBook G3 800MHz, which made me courious. Then I looked at the compiles output and found the bug. The following output loops: creating Makefile creating intl/Makefile creating fixinc/Makefile creating gccbug creating mklibgcc creating mkheaders creating auto-host.h auto-host.h is unchanged rm -f config.run make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/build/g cc' make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/build/ gcc' make[1]: Warning: File `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-2004021 5/gcc/Makefile.in' has modification time 1,6e+05 s in the future /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-20040215/gcc/configure. frag /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-20040215/gcc "cp f objc" \ "" "/var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-20040215/gcc/config /rs6000/t-ppcos /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-20040215/gcc/co nfig/t-slibgcc-elf-ver /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-20040215 /gcc/config/t-linux /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-20040215/gc c/config/rs6000/t-ppccomm /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.3_pre20040215/work/gcc-20040 215/gcc/config/rs6000/t-rs6000-c-rule" cp config.status config.run LANGUAGES="c++ f77 objc" /bin/sh config.run creating Makefile <Now again the same as above> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -u gcc 2. 3.

Would you mind trying out gcc-3.3.3-r1, and see if that fully merges?
Oops, sorry. This was not a bug in the ebuild but on my system. The system's date and time were totally wrong due to a crash and so all (Make)files were outdated or lay in the future. Setting the system's date and time fixed this problem, but now I get another compile error. I'll try gcc-3.3.3-r1 and tell you if it works.
I tried out gcc-3.3.3-r1 but with this one patch fails. I opened a new bug (43269).
