I encountered the same problem on an i586 system. After increasing the swap by around 200M, the bug was gone. I guess the sparc might need a bit more swap than the intel architecture, so you might try that solution

Ram is 900MB, and Swap is 384MB... :( I don't *think* that should be an issue.

I have just hit the same thing on my new dual xeon 2.66ghz at work.
Running ~x86.
1Gb Registered ECC RAM, 3gb Swap, so I don't think that is an issue.


However when I run the emerge again (nothing else done in the meantime on the system) after a little while it worked 100%.
Possibly this is either an intermittant bug with something common to all systems or a weird place that gcc hits really hard on hardware.

Changed MAKEOPTS="-j3" and problem solved. This is an SMP system, and I noticed emerge info makes no indication of SMP.

per Keith M Wesolowski:
<wesolows> a good possibility on that gcc fail is parallel make b0rkage
<BladeMan> ah, so crank back the j4?
<wesolows> can't hurt to try

Thanks, that is worthwhile noting.
Could the gcc people please see about fixing their makefiles so that parallel makes work properly?
