Created attachment 47126 [details] genkernel.log OK, now I've figured out how to attach files; here's the complete log
> gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1) This message should only appear if gcc really has an internal error or if it was out of memory. Check if you have enough memory (swap) enabled ;-)
I'm mortified. I indeed had no swap. Thanks for the quick response.
Closing; NOTABUG as Andre's pointed out... Thanks!
