I've gotten the same error on two seperate systems, one a workstation, one a webserver. Just about anything I want to emerge, particularly emerge -uD world, tries to emerge glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420 as a dependancy. It fails every time with the same error, but in different files each time: ../sysdeps/generic/check_fds.c: In function `check_one_fd': ../sysdeps/generic/check_fds.c:52: error: can't find a register in class `BREG' while reloading `asm' distcc[23896] ERROR: compile on 207.207.207.157 failed make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/csu/check_fds.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/csu' make[1]: *** [csu/subdir_lib] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 536, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) The two systems use distcc, and compile for each other. They are equally updated versions of gentoo, but with different make.conf options. The error does not appear when distcc is not used. So I see two possible courses of action... 1) fix the problem in the code 2) tell portage to compile it locally. If #2, I hope there is a way to do this automatically without user intervention?
reopen with output of emerge --info please.
This is after I disabled distcc and compiled glibc locally...

Are you using hardened-gcc on any machine, or -fPIC anywhere?
I didn't explicitely select the "hardened" distribution or kernel, however "hardened" is in my "USE" options since it looked useful in "ufed", so if there was a gcc update recently, then during routine updates, gcc may have compiled with "hardened" code. Also, in compiling other software right now, I do see "-fpic" passed in. What is the significance of this in compiling with distcc vs. locally? If I remove the "hardened" option, should code compile with distcc again without trouble, or would I have to recompile gcc first? Shouldn't portage be able to recognize that "hardened" is selected, and therefore disable remote compiling for programs where it is known to cause a problem?
It's hard to say really what effect hardened USE flag has. Puggy? I DO know that having hardened-gcc on one box and not another will cause issues.
Lisa, hope you don't mind, but this seems to fall more into the toolchain arena of fun fun issues we've been dealing with in regards to the toolchain. I myself have seen this error while using hardened+nptl in USE, using binutils-2.15.91.0.1, gcc-3.4.0-r6, and ~glibc-2.3.4.*, and attempting to compile memtest86. Alot of the oddities are popping up it seems because in binutils-2.15*, relro got added, and that's just causing lots of fun. Tom, knowing how distcc works, you will likely want to make sure that all your toolchains on your distcc hosts have the *same* exact toolchain as the main system. This means built w/ the same USE flags, same Major/Minor versions, etc.., especially for gcc.
Tom, If you update your gcc first to >=3.3.3-r6 (the current stable) this error will go away for you and others. The hardened USE flag is not compatible with older versions of the toolchain and the flag-o-matic.eclass Changing resolution to invalid
