Could you please post your `emerge --info`?

[Comment 2 GCovato 2004-08-23 05:23:32 UTC]

The bug exists only compiling the pkgconfig package with the -march=athlon-xp option.

Compiling with -march=i686 it works.

works fine here with athlon-xp .. still havent provided your 'emerge info'

sorry we can't do much with this. Works fine here. Illegal instruction usually points at some hw problem or maybe a flaky gcc.

Do you actually have an amd XP, your uname isn't very clear on that. Maybe you should reset your CFLAGS.
