[gentoo-user] Package compile failures with "internal compiler error: Segmentation fault".

[Dale <rdalek1967@gmail.com>]

Howdy,

I was trying to re-emerge some packages.  The ones I was working on
failed with "internal compiler error: Segmentation fault" or similar
being the common reason for failing.  I did get gcc to compile and
install.  But other packages are failing, but some are compiling just
fine.  Here's a partial list at least. 

net-libs/webkit-gtk
kde-plasma/kpipewire
sys-devel/clang
sys-devel/llvm


When I couldn't get a couple to complete. I just went to my chroot and
started a emerge -e world.  Then the packages above started failing as
well in the chroot.  This all started when gkrellm would not open due to
a missing module.  Some info on gcc.


root@Gentoo-1 / # gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-13 *
root@Gentoo-1 / #


Output of one failed package.

As you can tell, compiler error is a common theme.  All of them I looked
at seem to be very similar to that.  I think there is a theme and likely
common cause of the error but no idea where to start. 

Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this?  Searches reveal
everything from bad kernel, bad gcc, bad hardware and such.  They may as
well throw in a bad mouse while at it.  LOL  A couple seemed to solve
this by upgrading to a newer version of gcc.  Thing is, I think this is
supposed to be a stable version of gcc. 

Open to ideas.  I hope I don't have to move back to the old rig while
sorting this out.  O_O  Oh, I updated my old rig this past weekend.  Not
a single problem on it.  Everything updated just fine. 

Thanks.

Dale
