> That's not your build.log, thats some binary mess. oh, I am sorry, the filename is build.log.bz2 - plain text build log is too big (cca 7MB). So I compressed it, but forgot to change the name and type of the attachment.
Created attachment 301013 [details] build.log.bzip2 now this attachment should have a correct type and name
ld terminated with signal 9 -> You are running out of memory ;) Increase SWAP.
Comment on attachment 300991 [details] build.log.bzip2 It was fine the first time and you could have just changed the MIME Type under "Details".
You ran out of RAM. Valid solutions to this problem are: 1) Install more memory. 2) Run with MAKEOPTS=-j1. 3) Remove "-pipe" from CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. 4) File no bug reports about it. Future improvements when filing bug reports: 5) Post your `emerge --info' output in a comment.

I now succeeded to compile with MAKEOPTS=-j1. Also ok, next time I will be more carefull to improve my bugreports :)
I now experienced a similar problem on another system. It did not respond anymore during compilation of firefox-10.0. It was swapping like hell. The system has 4GB of RAM, same amount of SWAP. I watched top, that said 28% RAM-usage for ld, 56% (at max) for python2.7! How is that possible? After linking finally finished (after minutes!) this python-process stayed until firefox-10.0-merge finished. (I had enough SWAP, so it did not stop with signal 9) On my own mashine, I did not experience this problem, there I have 8GB of RAM. Is this an error in one of the eclasses, in the build-system of firefox or in python?
