Gentoo 1.4-rc1: internal error at GCC-3.2 stage2

[villerk]

I'm running AMD K6-2/500, 192 MB PC-100, MSI-5169.
CFLAGS="-match=k6-2 -O3 -pipe"
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="-* mmx 3dnow matrox fbcon apm gpm mitshm lame cdr scanner cups X
dga opengl xv directfb qt qtmt gtk tcltk aalib avi mpeg quicktime imlib
ncurses readline sdl svga gif jpeg png tiff esd oss mikmod ggi xmms
oggvorbis flash encode ipv6 pam ssl crypt imap tcpd spell truetype xml
xml2 pdflib plotutils tetex guile java perl python slang libwww libg++
pic berkdb gdbm samba nls zlib"

Here's the problem: I booted the newest Live-CD, got everything going
nicely, only disabled gnome, kde and arts (USE="-gnome -kde -arts") ran
/usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh. binutils, texinfo (etc) compile fine,
so does GCC-3.2 for the first time (without the optimizations, that is),
then glibc-2.2.5 compiles also ok. When the script tries to compile
GCC-3.2 again _with_ the CPU-specific optimizes, it reports "Internal
error" during stage 2. I tried it three times last day and night (every
time a fresh try with rm -fr *) with the same results. It crashed
exactly in the same spot every time. This morning I tried it with some
very heavy optimizations (like -funroll-loops), it crashed while
compiling bzip2. Then I tried with CFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -O2 -pipe", and a
different USE (not so bloated one like that above , but enabled and
disabled some more stuff), didn't help. Now I'm trying one last time,
this time with those enviroment variables above.

The process hasn't reached yet the point where it crashes, but if/when
it does, I'll put the error message here verbatim. At first I suspected
it might be a hardware problem, as I had similar errors with every
distro when I had some bad memory (random crashes while compiling), but
why does it crash every time in the same point? If I can't solve this,
I'll try next the stage2 tarball and see if that helps. (I don't want to
do it, I love too much fiddling with the stage1 ).

Anyways, I already think that Gentoo is an excellent distro: there
aren't many OS install-CDs (none probably, apart from Gentoo) which have
irc clients, www browsers, ssh tools (and probably even more)! Right now
I've run the Live-CD 1 day and 24 min. And the fact that every single
component on my system worked out-of-the-box as I booted the CD, that
Lynx, among others, are compiled with SSL-support etc. etc. I just hope
I'll get the bootstrapping work, I have high expectations...

Hmm, this seems to be a popular topic

I ran memtest86 today, just to make sure this is not because of faulty
memory and the result was negative. Then I figured it might be the
cooler on the processor, as it's grown noisy in the last few months. I
replaced my K6-2/500 with an older K6-2/300, which I know doesn't heat
up so much, and found another cooler from a drawer. I'm trying this now,
as I suspect the bootstrapping process is too much without a proper
cooling on K6-2/500. I'll set it compiling this night.

Yahoo! That worked. Now Gentoo compiles perfectly, though as K6-2/300 is about 20% slower than 500, it took two more hours to complete. I ordered a new fan, it'll be here this week or the next.
