Is this a new problem - has "make menuconfig" ever worked? You should also try recompiling gcc and maybe trying a different branch (e.g. gcc-3.4)
see comment #3
(In reply to comment #4) > see comment #3 Yes, it was a misconfigured system, tried a number of different suggestions from older listings in the Forums The one that seemed to work was "emerge xml-parser && emerge intltool" Then slowly started to emerge back again, the stock answer it HAS to be your hardware is not always correct.
