when emergeing samba 3.0.8, it stops with an internal compiler error (Segmentation fault) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge samba Actual Results: (I copy the last lines of output, as I don't know how to attach a "preprocessed source" - the bugwriting doc is not available at the moment - I will make a bug report for this too) Compiling libsmb/clioplock.c Compiling libsmb/errormap.c In file included from include/includes.h:114, from libsmb/errormap.c:23: /usr/include/sys/un.h:34: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions. Compiling libsmb/clirap2.c The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem. make: *** [libsmb/errormap.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... !!!

Please ensure that you do not have preempt on in your kernel as it can cause this type of behaviour. If this isn't the problem, please let us know since I can't reproduce the problem here.
Yes, I had preempt CONFIG_PREEMPT on in my kernel, as the help text for this setting says "activate this on desktops" (this seems to be not a very good advice). After switching this off and compiled a new kernel (with an old kernel, as kernel compilation broke too), the problem was gone, as several others too. Thanks for your help!
