Current version of GCC 4.0.1 failed to build on my system if portage apply current patchset (1.0 - 4.0.1_pre20050616) to it. The same problem can be reproduced with all previous version where this patchset was applied. When I remove it gcc builds without any problems. But if I try to build a gcc with them it fails at first xgcc call with following error message: ======== ./xgcc -B./ -B/usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -isystem /usr/powerpc-unknown- linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-include -L/var/ portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/build/gcc/../ld -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall - Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -I. -I. -I/var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc -I/var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/. -I/var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/../include -I/ var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/../libcpp/include -g0 -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-zero- initialized-in-bss -fno-unit-at-a-time -msdata=none \ -c /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN \ -o crtbegin.o ./xgcc -B./ -B/usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -isystem /usr/powerpc-unknown- linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-include -L/var/ portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/build/gcc/../ld -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall - Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -I. -I. -I/var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc -I/var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/. -I/var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/../include -I/ var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/../libcpp/include -g0 -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-zero- initialized-in-bss -fno-unit-at-a-time -fPIC -msdata=none \ -c /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1-20050702/gcc/crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN -DCRTSTUFFS_O \ -o crtbeginS.o In file included from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/tsystem.h:90, from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/crtstuff.c:64: /usr/include/stdio.h:353: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:357: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:366: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:369: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:372: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:382: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:384: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:413: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:420: error: format string argument not a string type In file included from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/tsystem.h:90, from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/crtstuff.c:64: /usr/include/stdio.h:353: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:357: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:366: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:369: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:372: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:382: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:384: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:413: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:420: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:425: error: format string argument not a string type In file included from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/tsystem.h:90, from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/crtstuff.c:64: /usr/include/stdio.h:796: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:800: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:425: error: format string argument not a string type In file included from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/tsystem.h:90, from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/crtstuff.c:64: /usr/include/stdio.h:796: error: format string argument not a string type /usr/include/stdio.h:800: error: format string argument not a string type In file included from /usr/include/sys/select.h:34, from /usr/include/sys/types.h:216, from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/tsystem.h:93, from /var/portage/gcc-4.0.1_pre20050702/work/gcc-4.0.1- 20050702/gcc/crtstuff.c:64: /usr/include/bits/sigset.h:31: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

If someone is interested gcc 4.0.1 still has a faulty patchset and failed to build with identical error message on ppc.
built fine for me on x86_64
Could you see if you can narrow it down to a patch? There are a few in the patchset that are PPC specific. I'm working on getting access to a PPC box so I can do some of my own testing.
This is resolved with the newest patchset that gcc-4.0.1 uses.
