I changed to gcc-3.4.4 following the guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml).

i doubt this has anything to do with gcc-3.4 considering ive built it many times with 3.4.[345] looks more like emacs sucks try emerging with USE=-emacs
I'll try later today, but gcc-3.3.? has built it successfully..
Ok, it worked with USE=-emacs, thanks.
This isn't a gcc upgrade problem, it's either a USE flags problem with USE=emacs; or a gettext problem, and maybe a gpm problem too (See forum posts 405193, 389021, 411242). I was bitten by it before.

In my case the first time I did an "emerge -e system" after upgrading to gcc-3.4.4 the compile went fine. The problem happened when I later did an "emerge -e world". Now I have the same problem.
The above "workarounds" really aren't workarounds, because future "world" emerges will just hit this again. These are the involved versions and use-flags for me: [ebuild R ] app-editors/emacs-21.4-r1 +X +Xaw3d +gnome -leim -lesstif +motif +nls -nosendmail 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gettext-0.14.4 -doc +emacs +nls 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-libs/gpm-1.20.1-r4 +emacs (-selinux) 0 kB I'm no emacs guru, but if I run emacs and try to byte-compile-file one of these, emacs segfaults! Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08181c15 in error () (gdb) bt #0 0x08181c15 in error () #1 0x00000007 in ?? () #2 0x00000000 in ?? () (gdb) Running it in batch mode produces the above error message. So, agreeing with the above, seems like an emacs bug.
Created attachment 93617 [details] full backtrace I have attached a full backtrace of manually running the command used to do the compilation.
FWIW, exactly the same problem exists with gettext-0.14.5. Is any progress being made with this bug?
This bug still exist in gettext-0.15.0 ~ I managed to resolve this problem for the time being by removing USE Flag emacs and emacs-w3
Other bugs and threads state that this emacs crash is caused by too-agressive optimization, but it happens to me on two different systems, with different CPUs and "approved" optimizations: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" and CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" This apparent emacs bug affects a number of ebuilds, including for me just yesterday, subversion.
I get the same problem and almost the same error with gettext 0.16.1 and gcc-4.1.1: Making all in misc make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.16.1/work/gettext-0.16.1/gettext-tools/misc' WARNING: Warnings can be ignored. :-) if test "emacs" != no; then \ set x; \ list='start-po.el po-mode.el po-compat.el'; for p in $list; do \ if test -f "$p"; then d=; else d="./"; fi; \ set x "$@" "$d$p"; shift; \ done; \ shift; \ EMACS="emacs" /bin/sh ../../build-aux/elisp-comp "$@" || exit 1; \ else : ; fi Symbol's value as variable is void: load make[3]: *** [elc-stamp] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.16.1/work/gettext-0.16.1/gettext-tools/misc' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.16.1/work/gettext-0.16.1/gettext-tools' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.16.1/work/gettext-0.16.1/gettext-tools' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 !!!

This might be the same issue as in bug #164494 (I'm not entirely sure though). Could you try the attached patch (attachment #110615 [details, diff]) from there?
Sorry for the delay, I was very busy. The patch worked fine. I included it in the ebuild for commodity of use and portage emerged gettext with USE=emacs. Thank you.
