I have a file for things like this in my root directory. I added this one.

That could be. It may be two different problems. Some USE flag combination triggers a infinite loop and genlop needs some Raid sprayed on it. We all know how hard it is to fix something when you have two different issues going on at the same time. >> To add this in case I didn't mention it.

I don't have any VMs here. Just a regular install. I did a genlop -t gcc. There was a few that went 30 minutes and one or two that went to 32 minutes. Most likely something was compiling in parallel during a upgrade. I have it set to compile that way when it can. Having gcc compile for hours is not normal especially when gcc is compiling all by itself. In the winter I don't mind the extra heat but it's pretty much summer here now. lol >> I have a 4 core CPU running at I think 3.2Ghz >> and 16Gbs of ram with portages work directory on tmpfs. >> >> This is weird.

Even tho it is not really needed anymore, I still run revdep-rebuild too. Going to see what happens when it upgrades again. May need to clean out older versions of gcc that nothing really needs too. That may help. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
