When I emerge large packages (gcc, glibc, qt, kde...) my system often segfault and I have to restart the compilation until it gets it right (which can take time). Here an example of the output (while compiling qt), which is similar to other cases: g++ -c -pipe -fno-exceptions -fPIC -Wall -W -O2 -pipe -march=k8 -D_REENTRANT -DDESIGNER -DQT_INTERNAL_XML -DQT_INTERNAL_WORKSPACE -DQT_INTERNAL_ICONVIEW -DQT_INTERNAL_TABLE -DQT_TABLET_SUPPORT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -I/var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.4-r3/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I../shared -I../uilib -I../../../include -I.moc/release-shared-mt/ -o ./moc_startdialog.o .moc/release-shared-mt/moc_startdialog.cpp In file included from ../../../include/qdialog.h:42, from .moc/release-shared-mt/../../startdialog.h:14, from .moc/release-shared-mt/moc_startdialog.cpp:11: ../../../include/qwidget.h:62: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions. The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem. make[3]: *** [moc_startdialog.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory /var/tmp/portage/qt-3.3.4-r3/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.4/ Please note that my system is stable (few experimental packages). I recently update the toolchain to the experimental versions, but the problem still occurs. Also note that this is not specific to amd64, since I got the same problem on my x86 system (on the same hardware, with gcc 3.4.4). I ran memtest86+ and found nothing wrong, I frequently do memory and cpu expensive work such as transcode without any problems. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge largeandlongtocompilepackage 2. 3. Actual Results: segfault during the process, can be anywhere. Expected Results: compile without errors.
