12 You can emerge until you are blue in the face and it won't make this
13 problem go away.

15 There is no question in my mind that the header file is being
16 corrupted somewhere between the IDE disk and when the gcc process is
17 reading in the file to compile it.
18
19 No amount of emerging is going to fix that bug.
20 It could be in the kernel, there could be something up
21 with the IDE disk you're using, but there is not enough
22 data to determine this right now.
23
24 And I've been saying this from the beginning, "data corruption".
