hmm, in total I've tried this with 6 different
packages and I get the same error with all of them so
I don't think it's necessarily package related.
I tried rebuilding gcc as i686 and it hung at the end
when it was trying to write some pdf file??? I'll try
it again though and see what happens.
I've built my kernel with it and a whole crap load of
other tools including tar, bz2, all the RPM tools,
ftp, reiserFStools and every damn program that I use
daily. No problems so far.
Did you see the email from Todd? It's very cool that
he is going to help us figure this out if we can't
figure it out ourselves.
This is fun David.

Cthulu thinks you'd make a nice sandwich.
