I am posting this bug, because I have tried probably a good dozen of different CFLAGS in order to try to get gentoo to compile. using march|mcpu=k6-2, march/mcpu=i586, -O1/2/3/s etc... I ran a mem test and the memory is good, the system was running an old gentoo release about 6 months ago and was working fine. Now that I wiped everything out and installed from the Universal CD Gentoo 2004.0 (using stage3 since I could not bootstrap either;) I can't compile a lot of software even though the base stage3 install seems to run fine on it under kernel 2.6 (ah yes, I was able to compile the kernel at least ;) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. modify make.conf to CFLAGS = -O2 -march=i586 -pipe OR -O2 -march=k6-2 -pipe 2. emerge -e world 3.

Have you checked your CPU temperature?
Yes, it was a problem with the CPU getting to hot I am afraid. I just open the case and found out that 1 of my fans 2 was not running anymore!!! I was able to recompile the kernel with ACPI support, but unfortunately I don't think my motherboard (FIC 2013) supports thermal control and can give me the CPU temperature. Anyway, I left the case open and turn on the ceiling fan in the office and the compile has been going since this morning 7:00 AM CST and no errors yet ;) Thanks!
