Created attachment 353274 [details] coredump back trace emerge segfaults with the following error. * host: powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0 * prefix: /home/sphericus/gentoo * ready to bootstrap stage3 ./bootstrap-prefix.sh: line 1072: 19005528 Segmentation fault (core dumped) emerge --oneshot ${opts} "${pkg}" Hmmmm, I was already afraid of this to happen. Running /home/sphericus/gentoo/bin/bash ./bootstrap-prefix.sh "/home/sphericus/gentoo" stage3 somewhere failed :( Details might be found in the build log: (no build logs found?!?)
sphericus asked for help in IRC with this issue. I suggested applying the following patch from 2.7.4, which touches the code involved in the segmentation fault: http://hg.python.org/releasing/2.7.4/rev/09fc7f466bd4
so this is python segfaulting? I recall haubi recently rolled a new python tar, or am I mistaken? Did that fix this problem?

Erm - no: bootstrap-prefix.sh uses vanilla Python-2.7.3 on AIX for now, as the patched one breaks at build time already (looks like linux-specifics got enabled unconditionally in libffi). Actually, even baselayout-prefix (einfo) isn't ported to AIX yet - will need to do this first.
AIX no longer is a supported platform, sorry.
