I'm trying to do a stage 1 install on an old 400 mhz PII with 128 megs of RAM for use as an experimental server. Compile options are sane... -O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -pipe I'm having extreme problems getting past... "emerge --emptytree system" at chapter 6.d of the online install docs at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1 and will probably attempt a stage 3 install next time, just to bypass it, unless somebody can come up with a quick-n-dirty solution to my problems soon.
First it was blowing up at ncurses. I tried several times, masking and unmasking in order to try both regular versions of ncurses and the ~x86 version. They all blew up at the same point. I blew that install away, and started over. This time around "emerge --emptytree system" blows up at bash-2.05b. I didn't see anything on bugzilla that looked relevant. Here's the error stuff, with my comments flagged "<<<<<<<" i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/bash-2.05b-r9/work/bash-2.05b -I../.. -I../../lib -O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -pipe -DREADLINE_LIBRARY -c ./tilde.c rm -f xmalloc.o i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/bash-2.05b-r9/work/bash-2.05b -I../.. -I../../lib -O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -pipe xmalloc.c rm -f xmalloc.o <<<<<<< note this command rm -f libhistory.a ar cr libhistory.a history.o histexpand.o histfile.o histsearch.o shell.o savestring.o mbutil.o xmalloc.o ar: xmalloc.o: No such file or directory <<<<<<< Dohhhhh i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/bash-2.05b-r9/work/bash-2.05b -I../.. -I../../lib -O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -pipe xmalloc.c make[1]: *** [libhistory.a] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/bash-2.05b-r9/work/bash-2.05b/lib/readline' make: *** [lib/readline/libhistory.a] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... rm -f compat.o i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/bash-2.05b-r9/work/bash-2.05b -I../.. -I../../lib -O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -pipe compat.c rm -f libreadline.a ar cr libreadline.a readline.o vi_mode.o funmap.o keymaps.o parens.o search.o rltty.o complete.o bind.o isearch.o display.o signals.o util.o kill.o undo.o macro.o input.o callback.o terminal.o text.o nls.o misc.o history.o histexpand.o histfile.o histsearch.o shell.o savestring.o mbutil.o tilde.o xmalloc.o compat.o test -n "i686-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib" && i686-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib libreadline.a make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/bash-2.05b-r9/work/bash-2.05b/lib/readline' !!!
