sys-devel/gcc-3.4.3.20050110 will not finish merging if -fstack-protector is in CFLAGS. I was able to cause this failure three times. Interestingly, the error was the same, but came from a different application. Here are the three failures in order: cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fstack-protector" Second time: I passed my CFLAGS without -fstack-protector to emerge on the shell. I later was told this didn't do anything, anyway. Same error as above. Third time: Same as second time. However, the error was different: cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-fstack-protector" Editing make.conf and removing -fstack-protector there allowed me to complete the merge the first attempt. So I'm no programmer, but perhaps this needs filtered out?

Note: I just changed my account and email address.
I'm not sure if it's related, but I just saw an odd problem with the same error with media-sound/alsa-tools-1.0.8-r1. I received the error cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-fstack-protector" And I'm not sure why. I do not have -fstack-protector in CFLAGS.
Can you please provide the emerge log which shows this? Can you try switching to the vanilla gcc profile (using gcc-config) and emerge the new gcc?
I no longer have the merge log, i finished rebuilding my system. Do you still want me to try the bit with vanilla?
Are youo able to trigger the bug still?
Well i'm not sure why but this version of gcc, gcc-3.4.3.20050110 , doesn't even recognize -fstack-protector. Not sure if I missed a USE flag? I would like to have that back. I removed -fstack-protector from my CFLAGS in make.conf because of this.
