I have this same problem, although the end error is slightly different.

Gentoo 1.2, Duron 1.2, latest mjc-sources kernel. This happens immediately 
after installing the new kernel, rebooting to rebuild alsa-driver. lm_sensors 
rebuild completes fine. Here are the last few lines of the emerge process:

Jesh I feel like an idiot.

I figured out my problem. The newer mjc-sources has options for alsa drivers in 
the kernel. You have to disable normal sound support to see the alsa sound 
options.

[Comment 3 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) 2002-07-18 14:50:50 UTC]

Sven, the output that you sent suggests that it's an internal compiler error.  I
suggest that you file a bug with the GCC people instead.

[Comment 4 Sven Blumenstein (RETIRED) 2002-08-03 12:57:52 UTC]

Hi!

I got the same error (Trident driver) and found a Workaround:

The alsa-driver ebuild compiles ALSA by default with ALSA_CARDS=all 
wich means, support for all sound cards. Also the buggy(?) Trident.

My workaround is, to do a 

export ALSA_CARDS=mychip

before emerging. As long as you dont have a Trident, it should work for
you :) And it compiles even faster because it only compiles your chip,
plus you dont waste diskspace for modules you  dont need. A list of all
supported soundcards along with the chipnames can be found here:

http://alsa-project.org/~goemon/

In my case it was "export ALSA_CARDS=ens1371" because I have a SB 128 PCI.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
bAZiK

Thanks for the tip. Setting ALSA_CARDS to my sound module also let me dodge the 
buggy trident module.

BTW running 1.3b

Sven, are you still unable to compile alsa-driver?

[Comment 7 Sven Wermke 2002-09-23 14:48:15 UTC]

Whoops, almost forgot about this bug. I just tried it on my K6-2 400 with Gentoo
1.4-rc1 and now it works. Time to close this one.
