Installation Error (gcc-2.95.3-r7)

[Torogi]

Hi, I got the following error after 2 tries while on stage1. I'm using the 16mb gentoo-ix86-1.2.iso.

Here's my setup:

Partition scheme:
/ - 400m.
/boot - 120m
/usr - 13500m
/home - 4G
/var - 300m
/tmp - 250m

make.conf (Does my system support this?)
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -03 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -03 -pipe"

Thanks...

Your CFLAGS look fine, but your /var partition looks too small. Portage uses /var/tmp/ to build software, and it can get huge. Is there a chance /var could be running out of space? Try temporarily symlinking /var to /usr/var and see if your problems go away.
