Usually you install more memory to fix problems with programs that complain about memory problems. But maybe there is a huge memory leak here - who knows?
this does not look like a memory leak: as tells us it tries to allocate about 288000 TB of memory at once. And the failed allocation size do not seem to be an "innocent" one, feels like a rounded negative size (-16 ?): > printf "%016x\n" 288230376151711728 03fffffffffffff0 IMHO, for the Gentoo distribution, a bug in a stable build toolchain is a major one as the whole distribution is to be built from sources.

I'm not sure its a bug yet. This appears related to your bug #538026. I'm suspecting something is seriously broken on your system. Are you hitting both bugs on the same box?

Having made more investigations, it happens that bug #538026 can be reproduced on other boxes with different configuration (not hardened gentoo) while this one only shows up on my hardened gentoo server. Then, I'm quite sure now this bug is not related to #538026.

I'm not sure how you're getting into this state. I gather from your previous comments that this is the only box where you're getting the strange memory allocation.

Still trying to reproduce --- can I have your kernel config file so I'm sure I'm doing the same thing here as you are there.

Reopen when you get more info.
I finally found and solved this issue. The point was that CFLAGS with -march=amdfam10 is not correct anymore for this specific CPU (_X2_Dual_Core_Processor_BE-2300). It happens to be -march=k8-sse3 with recent gcc, missing SSE4a and ABM instruction sets; the difference in CPU options tuning is then -mno-popcnt -mno-abm -mno-lzcnt. It seems like this CPU implements (some of) the missing instructions but not giving the correct result. As a consequence, there was a problem in zlib which made as do weird things while compiling kernel and dev-libs/nss package. Recompiling zlib with -march=native solved the issue. Then I did recompile the whole system changing my CFLAGS from CFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -O2 -funroll-loops -pipe -fexpensive-optimizations -fomit-frame-pointer" to CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" in order to be sure no other package is affected by this issue (doing emerge --verbose --empty @system ; emerge --verbose --empty @world) Thanks for your help.
