compilation will stop complaining about uname.o being unrecognized:

does it fail at the same place every time ?  what if you try MAKEOPTS=-j1 ?

Comment 6 Christian Gnägi 2008-06-03 06:37:53 UTC

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried export MAKEOPTS=" -jl " && emerge coreutils,
the result is the same. And yes, it always fails at the same place.

go into the directory, remove uname.o, and run the compile line manually.  see if you get the same result.  also see if you get the same result if you set the output to like /tmp/foo.o.

we've seen disk corruption cause weird things like this (so forcing a fsck run on your disks may be a good idea)

Comment 8 Christian Gnägi 2008-06-05 10:06:21 UTC

removing uname.o didn't help, neither did fsck, but wiping /tmp completely did! Might have been a ccache issue. Thanks for your help, and sorry for bothering you.
