Thanks for the pointer. However, 'free' gives this output:
total used free sharedbuffers cached
Mem: 62372 61568804 0 22588 17148
-/+ buffers/cache: 21832 40540
Swap: 129016 6636 122380
which leads me to suspect that memory is not the problem in this case. (Unless
iconvconfig allocates huge amounts of memory.)
Is it possible that building with compiler flags other than those specified in the
ebuild could affect my build negatively, making these problems appear?
Thanks again.
Henrik.

Looks like you're getting bitten by the OOM killer: your system's probably
running out of memory if processes are dying at brk(). Make sure you have
virtual memory turned on.

[gentoo-user] glibc won't install locales, and make check fails
I've been having a problem with glibc not installing any locales for a longer period
of time now. It all started when glibc was upgraded from 2.3.1-r4 to 2.3.2-r1. I've
tried emerging glibc a few times to no avail. Last time I emerged I noticed that
iconvconfig dies on execution (whatever relevance this might have.) The last few lines
of an strace shows this:
gettimeofday({1065835459, 393102}, NULL) = 0
getpid()= 3741
open("/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache.S2AjmY", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = 3
brk(0) = 0x8081000
brk(0x8084000) = 0x8084000
brk(0) = 0x8084000
brk(0x8085000) = 0x8085000
+++ killed by SIGKILL +++
I've tried compiling glibc by hand, in order to see what's going wrong. 'ebuild
glibc-2.3.2-r1.ebuild unpack' and 'ebuild glibc-2.3.2-r1.ebuild compile' both work
fine, as far as I can see. However, entering
/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.2-r1/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere and issuing 'make check'
fails when trying to create locales. Here's a dump of the last output from 'make
check':
Generating locale de_DE.ISO-8859-1: this might take a while...
gen-locale.sh: line 52: 24310 Killed I18NPATH=. GCONV_PATH=${co
c -f $charmap -i $input ${common_objpfx}localedata/$out
Charmap: "ISO-8859-1" Inputfile: "de_DE" Outputdir: "de_DE.ISO-8859-1" failed
make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.2-r6/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/localed
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.2-r6/work/glibc-2.3.2/loc

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.2-r6/work/glibc-2.3.2'
make: *** [check] Error 2
If anyone has any idea on what to do about this, or what to look for I'd be very glad.
I'm totally in the dark, and I feel that trying to resolve this by trial and error
won't get me very far, especially as compiling glibc on thís machine takes several
hours.
I'd provide more info if I knew what would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Henrik.
