Based on the information you've given, there can be only 2 possible cause: |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
1. The Makefile is somehow b0rken. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Evidence : 'ls' instead of 'ld' |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
2. Some file creation failed, causing the next step to fail. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Please post the output of 'df -i'. I once ran out of inodes during kernel |
| 53 |
compile, even when the filesystem (ext4) was created with IIRC |
| 54 |
100'000-something inodes (and still having several gigabytes of free |
| 55 |
space). |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Nowadays, I put /usr/src and portage's tempdir on a reiserfs to prevent |
| 58 |
running out of inodes. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
3. Something is wrong with your filesystem. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Especially if /usr/src is *already* on reiserfs. In this case, boot using |
| 63 |
SystemRescueCD and do an offline fsck on the partition containing /usr/src |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
4. Swapfile / Swap partition problems. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Even with enough RAM, sometimes gcc just wants a swap. Post the output of |
| 68 |
'swapon -s' please. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
And there's also the possibility that somehow the swap gets b0rked. Try |
| 71 |
turning off swap, rebuild the swap, and turning it back on. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
