considering sandbox is in the default FEATURES i doubt that's the problem what is the output of `emerge info` if you dont add that line to make.conf ? why dont you try with less suicidal CFLAGS ?
Of course I've tried - with: 1. -march=athlon-xp -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe 2. -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe And my current make.conf #FEATURES="sandbox buildpkg ccache distcc userpriv usersandbox notitles noclean noauto cvs keeptemp keepwork autoaddcvs" #FEATURES="sandbox ccache distcc autoaddcvs" #FEATURES="distcc" #FEATURES="sandbox" I said when I uncomment sandbox I have no problems if not - cannot emerge abiword and mplayer at this moment
what about simply CFLAGS="-pipe" ? also, you didnt answer my other question about `emerge info`
So you think that it's something wrong with make.global...? And till this update evertyhing worked fine. I'll chceck this tommorow on diffrent computer and report what I've experienced also try pure -O2 march=athlon-xp
I'd venture: tempermental hardware induced by optimizations. "Adding" sandbox will not fix a problem. It's enabled by default on x86 unless you explicitly disable it. You're seeing a phantom bug. You can't simply test building something by changing your cflags. You have to rebuild the entire system with something more sane first, then you can try it.
