Bug 551110 – sys-devel/gcc-4.8.4: recipe for target 's-attrtab' failed

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Scott Alfter 2015-06-03 20:35:48 UTC]

I already have gcc 4.8.4 installed, but something (a change in the ebuild?) is triggering a rebuild, which is failing.  Log files to be attached shortly.

Reproducible: Always

Please look for clues in your kernel log (dmesg).

The out-of-memory killer appears to have nailed it...trying again without the usual MAKEOPTS=-j3 (or whatever).  This was on a VPS with 2 GB and minimal swap, though I've had the same error on other machines with more RAM and swap.  If this succeeds on the VPS, I'll try again with the other boxes.  Weird thing is that this didn't happen the last time gcc 4.8.4 was built on any of these hosts.

Closing this then.
