I re-emerged glibc to see if that would fix the issue. It still fails to compile, but the segfault is in a different place: /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1/work/gcc-3.3.5/gcc/cp/decl.c: In function `check_tag_decl': /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.3.5.20050130-r1/work/gcc-3.3.5/gcc/cp/decl.c:7607: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions.
if you emerge gcc a few times, does it always fail at the same place ?
vapier, it always failed in the same place until I remerged glibc. It then began failing in a different place, but continues to fail in that new place with every attempt.
I finally got this fixed. After re-emerging all the dependencies in order I finally got gcc to update. I have no idea why it failed to work in the first place, but everything is fine now.
if you can track it down please re-open :)
