Have you tried to compile kernel with
Code:
make && make modules_install
?

oh, well, how about trying to get a full kernel from www.kernel.org, then compile it, after that you should see whether your compiler is really broken, or the kernel itself.

I had a similar problem once too. I think that deleting the /usr/src/kernelversion directory _and_ doing another "make menuconfig" within that directory (after re-emerging it) helped.

Good luck.

no, already tried that, but didn't work.... i'm pretty sure now that my problem is with gcc and not with the kernel itself.. but after re-emerging gcc, glibc and some other stuff i'm getting desperate so i'm just making a new installation on another partition now.... heck it'll be faster than fixing this i guess... :x

I think it's rather binutils.
I'm switching to gcc 3.4 now, so I recently recompiled binutils with -O2 using 3.4.0 and found that I cannot compile kernel anymore neither with 3.3.3 nor with 3.4.0, getting exactly the same errors.
Must be CFLAGS issue, I suppose?

Anyway, just emerged 2.15.90, compiling the kernel now and well, at least it passed that mark this time.
