Could you paste some more of the output around that area?

There really isn't a solution to this error, it's usually a bad gzip/controlling
script (from Google).  Make sure your system is consistant (emerge -uavDN world
&& revdep-rebuild) and that you have lots of disk space free.

Let me know how it turns out.

[Comment 4 Carl-Fredrik Enell 2005-09-15 04:21:53 UTC]

I'm trying "emerge -uavDN world".
Emerging gcc just segfaulted. Will try again since that is often a hardware issue.

[Comment 5 Carl-Fredrik Enell 2005-09-15 11:39:03 UTC]

Emerging gcc worked on the third try. But the compilation of xorg still fails,
sometimes however with a different error (segfault on creation of one of the
msdos code pages)
I have to check the consistency of my system. Ideas?
