When trying to emerge ghostscript, the entire system hangs. Only solution is to reboot.

with which version does this happen? `emerge --info`, please
(In reply to comment #1) > with which version does this happen? `emerge --info`, please I will be able to post more information soon, once I have a decent browser on said box (unfotunately the laptop I'm typing this on at the moment isn't mine, so I can't install software such as PuTTY on it)

I have the same problem, but I get an immediate hard reboot rather than hang. This is going to sound a little odd, but this problem still existed 7 months ago (I remember having this exact same issue and the last time I logged in with this system was December last year) at which point it would do exactly the same thing. That was with the software up to date as it was 7 months ago. Now the machine is totaly up to date now, but the problem still exists. emerge --info below --------------------------------------------------------- Portage 2.0.51.22-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2004.3, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11.11 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11.11 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.12 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.9 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 / X acpi alsa ati avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bmp cdr crypt cups dvd dvdr esd exif fam flac font-server fortran gif gpm gtk imlib ipv6 jp2 jpeg lzw lzw-tiff mad mikmod mp3 mpc mpeg multilib ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdf perl png psd psp python qt radeon readline samba ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales vorbis wmf x86-64 xml2 xmms xpm xrandr xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS(In reply to comment #0) > When trying to emerge ghostscript, the entire system hangs.

So, this is obviously a real bug (too many people are having it) that happens on a lot (all?) amd64 boxes. Any information I need to supply before you devs can figure out what's happening?
Testing here, but unable to reproduce on app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r8 or app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r9. Adding amd64 to CC, using an nforce3-250 chipset board here and compiled it a few times.

I know this must sound far from credible... But all of a sudden it's working for me :D Is this, like, the inverse of a schroedinbug?
WORKSFORREPORTER :-)
Apparently this is called an Heisenbug: http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/heisenbug.html
Still doesn't work for me, machine hard resets when it reaches arch.h. Ignore the LDflags and such (CXXFlags), tried without them and tried without the CFlags and with different levels of O etc, nothing makes any difference. Machine is an nForce3 for the record. This is also a brand new installation from a 2005.0 liveCD with a 2005.1 Stage 1 package and I haven't had a single error or compile failure with any other package.
