The gcc compiler shapshot you're using is definitely at fault (basic I/0 issues). I'd recommend using gcc-3.3.3.ebuild. But take into account it builds altivec code incorrectly. The latest snapshot gcc_pre (hammer branch) snapshot, does no longer have I/O issues and builds altivec correctly if you use -fno-strict-aliasing in your cflags. Please also note that on my machine at least the latest gcc_pre snapshot fails to compile when USE="java". gcc-3.3.3 has not got this "feature". Sorry to let you wait for a definite answer. It took a while debugging the problem (involved building and testing a large number of GRP sets)

I'm having a hexa-xeon installed next sunday. Will have a look at this bug then.
<=crossdev-0.4 is no longer supported ... please upgrade to crossdev-0.9 and if you're still having problems, re-open the bug and re-assign to toolchain@gentoo.org
