I was running emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y @world and this was one of the items that needed to be emerged.  Other items emerged fine but I am unable to continue pass this package.

just a guess, but could it be that '-j6' is a bit too much ?

Comment 4 Alex Xu (Hello71) 2014-01-12 01:43:01 UTC

dmesg output please. (after the emerge is run)

Comment 5 Andrew Penhorwood 2014-01-12 02:52:44 UTC

I changed MAKEOPTS="-j6" to MAKEOPTS="-j1" and the emerge finished.

Comment 6 Rafał Mużyło 2014-01-12 12:50:13 UTC

Well, it's up to you, not portage, to know the limits of your machine (chances are '-j2' would still be fine, but seriously, binutils aren't that resource demanding).
