During installation of a clean gentoo system, using the portage-20040504 snapshot and the stage1-x86-2004-1 stage tarball, the system failed to compile gcc using the bootstrap-2.6 script. In prior tries to install gentoo during the last four weeks, this didn't never occur. Onfortunately the comparison seems to fail on different files. The first time it failed on the diagnostics.o file, the second time at the mkdeps.o file. I use a make.conf which i use to save between several tries to install a gentoo system. I am installing gentoo from within another running linux system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unpack stage1-x86-2004-1 tarball 2. unpack portage-20040504 snapshot into ${GENTOO_ROOT}/usr 3. cd /usr/portage 4. scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh Actual Results: The bootstrapping failed with the following error: Bootstrap complete - make "quickstrap" to redo last build, or "cleanstrap" to redo the bootstrap from scratch. make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/compile/portage/gcc-3.3.2-r5/work/build/gcc' Comparing stage2 and stage3 of the compiler make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/compile/portage/gcc-3.3.2-r5/work/build/gcc' rm -f .bad_compare case "compare-lean" in compare | compare-lean ) stage=2 ;; * ) stage=`echo compare-lean | sed -e 's,^compare\([0-9][0-9]*\).*,\1,'` ;; esac; \ for file in *.o; do \ tail -c +16 ./$file > tmp-foo1; \ tail -c +16 stage$stage/$file > tmp-foo2 \ && (cmp tmp-foo1 tmp-foo2 > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo $file differs >> .bad_compare) || true; \ done case "compare-lean" in compare | compare-lean ) stage=2 ;; * ) stage=`echo compare-lean | sed -e 's,^compare\([0-9][0-9]*\).*,\1,'` ;; esac; \ for dir in tmp-foo intl cp f objc; do \ if [ "`echo $dir/*.o`" != "$dir/*.o" ] ; then \ for file in $dir/*.o; do \ tail -c +16 ./$file > tmp-foo1; \ tail -c +16 stage$stage/$file > tmp-foo2 \ && (cmp tmp-foo1 tmp-foo2 > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo $file differs >> .bad_compare) || true; \ done; \ else true; fi; \ done rm -f tmp-foo* case "compare-lean" in compare | compare-lean ) stage=2 ;; * ) stage=`echo compare-lean | sed -e 's,^compare\([0-9][0-9]*\).*,\1,'` ;; esac; \ if [ -f .bad_compare ]; then \ echo "Bootstrap comparison failure!"; \ cat .bad_compare; \ exit 1; \ else \ case "compare-lean" in \ *-lean ) rm -rf stage$stage ;; \ *) ;; \ esac; true; \ fi Bootstrap comparison failure! mkdeps.o differs make[1]: *** [compare-lean] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/compile/portage/gcc-3.3.2-r5/work/build/gcc' make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2 !!!

Maybe a bug? My system is PII 350 with 512M system memory and 1G swap space running fedora core 1. I chose to use a critical severity because it causes the bootstrap, the very first process of a stage1 install to fail. I didn't try to compile any other ebuilds of gcc explicitly, because the gcc build is a rather lengthy process on my rather old machine.
I tried a manual 'make compare-lean' from within the work/build/gcc directory and it didn't report any problems to me.
This bug has been inactive for more than 90 days. Is this still reproduceable?
well, dont know :). after there were no comments on this bug for a few days, i used a newer portage snapshot, which contained another release of gcc that worked. i have a running gentoo for more then two months now. think i forgot about the bug, after there was no response. from my point of view, this bug is solved, although i do not know, whether it will still exist with the configuration i used back in may.
User reported upgrading fixes problem and seems to be unreproducible by any gentoo developers. gcc-3.3.4-r1 is x86 stable now so changing resolution to WORKFORSOME.
actually close out bug ;)
do I, as reporter, need to close the bug? I was thinking it will get closed by some gentoo developer...
