can't emerge firefox on ppc
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

hi list,

i just did an 'emerge system --deep --newuse -uv' which forced me to
unmerge firefox first since it was blocking something (but the update
went through without problems).

after that i tried to re-emerge firefox but it failed reproducibly.
these were ebuilds last words:

<snap>

here is what looks like what went wrong:
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-g++: Internal error: Killed (program cc1plus)

but i can't see any hint why this happened. i googled for this error
message but all i found were old posts about ancient gcc versions on
ancient red-hats that threw this error on compiling $foo.
so is there anyone on this list who has seen this before and can give me
a hint what to look for or what to rebuild before retrying to emerge
firefox another time?

regards,

alexander

Do you have kernel preemption on? If so turn it off.

nope. it's off. btw i suspect this very kernel option to be responsible
for massive heat-problems on my powerbook3,3 (which is a gen 2 tibook in
applespeak) but i didn't have proof yet since i was too lazy to build
another kernel with preemtion on after i had a working config that kept
the machine cool (which had among other things preemtion off).

Unless you enable SMP in conjunction with it (yes, even if you _only have one
CPU_!).
