Bug 113646 – kernel compilation segfaulting

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Leonid E Zakharov 2005-11-26 11:44:43 UTC]

After updating the system on Nov.23, 2005 (installed originally in Jan., 2005)
on my Inspiron 8200 by

emerge metadata
emerge portage
emerge system
emerge gentoo-sourses

making kernel (both new one 2.6.24 and old one 2.6.9) produces Sefault.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make menuconfig
3. make

Actual Results:
