GCC has been offering me sporadic problems -- unpredictably -- during emerges. A package will fail to build with the following error (this is taken from an openoffice emerge): g++-v3 -DCVER=C300 -D_USE_NAMESPACE -DGLIBC=2 -D_PTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DNEW_SOLAR -D_USE_NAMESPACE=1 -DSTLPORT_VERSION=400 -DPOWERPC -DPPC -D__DMAKE -DUNIX -DCPPU_ENV=gcc3 -DSUPD=645 -DPRODUCT -DNDEBUG -DPRODUCT_FULL -DOSL_DEBUG_LEVEL=0 -DOPTIMIZE -DEXCEPTIONS_OFF -DCUI -DSRX645 -DSHAREDLIB -D_DLL_ -DMULTITHREAD -o ../../unxlngppc.pro/slo/svdoutlinercache.o /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.4/work/svx/source/svdraw/svdoutlinercache.cxx g++: Internal error: Trace/breakpoint trap (program cc1plus) After receiving this error, simply retrying seems to fix the problem. If there are several packages, however, the same error will pop up after the third or fourth (sometimes more, sometime fewer) package. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58969 seems to be directly related to this bug but for x86. Expected behavior: This error seems to be related to a problem in GCC. I guess expected behavior would be for the compiler not to bork out like that. Reproducing: Try emerging something big (like OpenOffice) or something that causes 25 dependencies to be emerged with it -- that seems to be the best way...
