I certainly will stick to "-clang" in my package.use. Interesting. I'm not at all sure how old my CPU is, but at four cores it must be getting on a bit. Sounds like I should do the same ...

It generally shows itself with older architectures like AMD Phenom II, Bulldozer, Intel Core 2 etc. "-march=native" in the make.conf file was the culprit, IIRC, and replacing it with core2 or amd's equivalent option solved it. I, instead, put "-clang" in my package.use file, for firefox. No problem with Firefox builds since then. The CPU of the machine in question is in deed an old AMD.
