When compiling src/dfa.c, gcc (3.2.1) generates a segfault when parsing dfa.h, the compiler options where '-O3 -mcpu=v8 -fomit-frame-pointer'. The (quick) solution/workaround is to add a newline after line 432 (last line of the file) in src/dfa.h
Would you submit the output of emerge info? Thanks.

'/mnt/fs0' is a nfs share. I hope this is all the info you need.
Added a patch to grep versions 2.5-r1, 2.5.1 and 2.5.1-r1 that should fix this. Will do some testing as time permits.

Recent Gentoo Bugzilla move caused the status of this to change. Changing back.
