Created attachment 327116 [details] build.log See logs; I can replicate this on two different systems. I can fail it both via pmerge and emerge, so it's not just pkgcore being stupid; relevant emerge --info: Portage 2.1.11.23 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/server, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.14.1-r2, 3.6.2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.6.2-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i7-2600K_CPU_@_3.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.1 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 03:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.2_p37 dev-lang/python: 2.7.3-r2, 3.2.2 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.7-r1 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.27.1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.9.9.3 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5::<unknown repository> sys-devel/autoconf: 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3::<unknown repository>, 1.11.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.22.90 sys-devel/gcc: 4.2.4-r1, 4.5.3-r2, 4.6.3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.7.3 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.2 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r3 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.6 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.14.1-r2 Repositories: gentoo local qemu-init ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -ggdb" DISTDIR="/mnt/raid/distfiles" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs compressdebug config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles ignore-paludis-versioning news parallel-fetch pristine-buildpkg protect-owned sandbox sfperms sign splitdebug strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox xattr" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=gnu" MAKEOPTS="-j10" PKGDIR="/mnt/raid/binpkgs" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/fast/rsync" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/local /usr/local/portage/qemu-init" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl aiglx aio alsa amd64 amr aotuv ares async berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 caps cdparanoia cli cracklib crypt cups custom-cflags cxx device-mapper dri dvd dvdread fame flac fontconfig gdbm hpn iconv jpeg lzo matroska mmap mmx mmxext modules mp3 mudflap multilib multitarget ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg oggvorbis opengl openmp pam pcre png pppd readline rle session sna snmp sse sse2 sse3 ssl ssse3 tcpd theora threads truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vaapi vorbis vorbis-psy x264 xattr xml xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="authn_core authz_core socache_shmcb unixd actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan sheets stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="presenter-console presenter-minimizer" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_2" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="x86_64" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="x86_64 arm" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18 ruby19" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, USE_PYTHON Logs are attached.
Created attachment 327120 [details] install.log (with jit disabled) and just for fun, here's result from turning the jit use flag off; infinite recursion in installation. ;)
