Before this error I was able to make the 3.2.12 kernel several times without problems.
Between last successful build and error I did sync, update world, emerge clean & revdep-rebuild a couple of times.
Also I made me a tiny "load /usr" initramfs, which miracularly worked well, but the error shows up wether it's loaded or not.

I couldn't find anything on either google or bugzilla, tried a couple of .config changes. make dep & make mrproper wasn't helpful, too.
Now I'm at a complete loss how to procede further.

This is not a Gentoo problem. Your kernel compilation must have some errors before the text you pasted on your comment

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-04-17 16:00:20 UTC]

Please capture the entire build output in a file and attach that to this bug report.

[Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-04-17 16:01:22 UTC]

Also post the entire command you ran to begin the build procedure.

ouput of all commands resulting in the error

The commands leading to the error were
make dep
make clean
make

these are also included as headers in the command output

kind regards

I cannot reproduce this using the same versions and .config you provided, can you attach the output of emerge --info and the output of make -d in your kernel source directory?
