what gcc version? gcc version 2.95.3-r7 (which is what portage gave me) Hrm, Only reason I can think of is the unmatched values you had for -march and -mcpu (-march=i586 -mcpu=k6). If you have some time, could you try the same steps as the first time you had the errors, and try with "-march=k6 -mcpu=k6", or just "-mcpu=k6" if possible ? Thanks I could go right back to the beginning and try -mcpu=k6, but that will take some time. This machine is _still_ busy building an installation that I hope to use. Alternatively, I could recompile gcc with -mcpu=k6 and continue emerging. Would that be interesting? This machine has been busy today with "emerge system" using "-march=i586 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer". It got half way through and terminated with a 'file not found' message. A superficial glance at the make output suggested that file should have been present. Ive seen similar wierdness with parallel makes before, so I have added a MAKEOPTS="-j1". so far no problems. Im not sure if that could have caused the other problems.... I have transplanted the disk containing this install into a different machine; an Athlon XP 1700. Ive tried re-bootstrapping with various optimisation settings, but couldnt reproduce any problems. Transplanting it back into the original machine, the k6, and the problems return. Maybe this could be a hardware problem..... but this machine has been stable in the past. Tomorrow I will try the gcc3 profile. The gcc3 profile didnt get me anywhere - I guess my fault but I didnt debug further 2.93.3-r7 with "-O2 -march=i586" is stable so far on this problematic k6 Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this. |
