On a pentium 2, glib 2.4.1 will not compile, however 2.4.0 will. 1.2.10-r5 is ok too. Here is the result of the output: emerge -v -a glib These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

and if you use set makejobs to 1 ?
Even if I change MAKEOPTS= "-j1" or even "-j2" I get the same problem.
the compile problem now fixed. Here is what I did to fix it: emerged: to sys-apps/file-4.08 from sys-apps/file-4.06 to sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3.20040420 from sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r9 to sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r6 from sys-devel/gcc-3.3.2-r5 I emerged these three files during a emerge -v world, and glib now compiles cleanly. Sometimes good things come to those who stay current.
dunno.. it shouldn't stop working for no-good reason, being current shouldn't be a necessity.
