Can't compile Python

Ok I'm finally getting smart and turning to the forums. I've been trying to install Gentoo for a few weeks, on a couple different machines. I had one blow a mottherboard out on me, so I'm down to a Celeron 433 I'm trying to set up as a web server.

While not *new* to linux, I haven't really touched it in about 3 years so there is so much new that I might as well be a newbie. I've been enjoying the Gentoo experience, and while not successful yet, know I will be soon.

Right now I'm having trouble on the Celeron 433 in the emerge system portion of Stage 2. I had this system previously to the Kernel setup before realizing many mistakes and starting over. I've tried to emerge system several times, as well as an individual emerge dev-lang/python/ and every time I am greeted with the following screendump.

Are you root?

if so did you do "source /etc/profile"?

Yes to both questions (hope it helps)

With

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

in /etc/make.conf?

I would try:

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium2 -pipe"

or was -Os a typo in your message?

yes CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

It's Actually -Os which is optimize for size

Since then I have tried -O2 with the same result

I have exactly the same problem with python, during the emerge -u system, after a bootstrap.

My system is a XP 2000+
I tried diffrents CFLAGS, with no result.

If I start from a stage 3, xfree compile but I lost emerge (realy) just like it will be unmerge (I have no more i was sleeping during this process

.

Help will be great.

I'm using the athlon-xp cd and the stage 3 tarball. After emerge -u the install is dead. No emerge, no Python.
Any ideas?

Building from a Stage 1 on Virtual PC 6 for Mac, get the same error on the same package.

I solved it just by starting over again cfdisking the HD and starting from stage 1 all over again. Worked this time, don't know why it worked this time and not the other one.
