Bug 214703 – Unable to compile sys-kernel/gentoo-sources 2.6.24-r3: internal compiler error: Bus error

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description mlartz 2008-03-25 14:51:57 UTC]

I am reinstalling Gentoo 2007.0 from scratch, and have followed the standard instructions, however I cannot compile the kernel from within the chroot.  I get the following error:

livecd linux # make
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  HOSTCC  scripts/mod/file2alias.o
scripts/mod/file2alias.c: In function 'do_pcmcia_entry':
scripts/mod/file2alias.c:345: internal compiler error: Bus error
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.

make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/file2alias.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
make: *** [scripts] Error 2

This happens at the same file every time.  If I parallelize make, I get:

livecd linux # make -j2

Is this the dreaded "Compile Metabug"?  This machine compiled several things correctly yestereday, and, in the process of installing the machine, I have already compiled several ebuilds today.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Follow installation docs for 2007.0
2.  Configure kernel
3.  make

Upgrade your gcc to latest stable at least (4.1.2 ATM) before reporting compiler issues. Also your kernel is very outdated. Thanks.
