If a lot of other applications didn't compile, your compiler chain is probably broken or your hardware is.
Post the output of emerge info please.

Other things you can do:

HI...

my processor is p4 HT 2.8 hence heating could be an issue.....how to tackle that then

output of emerge info is:

About the compiler chain: When you do a stage1 install you compile the compiler and tools like binutils. Those are then used to compile the rest of the system packages. If something goes slightly wrong with compiling those compiler chain parts, those tools will be broken and often will fail to compile other packages. The internal compiler error: Segmentation message is what you can get in such situations. The cause of such errors can be hard to track down. If you test your memory and it produces errors, you know you have faulty ram, however if you find no errors that doesn't prove the ram is good. Same with other hardware, it may be ok, it may be causing problems even though all seems to work as it should. So what can you do? Well, try to check the things I already mentioned. You can try reinstalling using a stage3 instead and rebuild the packages later if you want to optimise some. When you do a stage3 install you are sure to have a compiler chain that was built properly. If you then still get ice errors, you probably have some hardware problem.

Hi....

memtest gave 0 faults after 6 runs......previously i had tried to install gentoo with stage 3 but segmentations faults flooded....so went to stage 1.....now how do i know whether my cpu is overclocked or not.....how to prevent this....and most important what is exactly overclocking ( i googled but not clear ) ... now what should i do if it is hardware problem....also the cflags displayed in emerge info are deffnt from that specified in mine make.conf...why ?????......please reply........i ahve spent a lot of time trying to install gentoo and i don't want to give up at such a stage ....

thank you

hi.....

i am installing gentoo from stage 1 and successfully compiled the kernel , X etc. But it fails to compile qt and sometimes gives segfaults and sometimes other errors. i posted them earlier and response was might be hardware prob or i am overclocking but then there was no reply and now i couldn't find that post either. However, why is qt required by so many progs - kate,kde,mplayer,firefox etc. and how to know whether i am overclocking my cpu or not and what exactly is overclocking....????? please reply................i have spent a lot of time on installing gentoo...........first i tried to use stage 3 but it gave segfaults even on compiling x...but now i used stage 1 and compiled x successfully but now i am stuck up because of the huge dependency of progs on qt...i have run memtest several times and response was 0 errors.......plz reply..

thanks

qt is a framework, that is needed for some GUI applications. But this shouldn't be a problem at all.

Also if you don't know whats overclocking, then you're prolly not doing it.

So I come to the conclusion that you did something wrong in the installing process.

I would recommend you to start from the beginning again and follow all steps in the handbook for a stage3 installation. Shouldn't take you more than 3,5 hours if you have a decent inet connection or you use the universal CD. Then if you got a basic gentoo system running, you can start to get at X and desktop environments.

Merged the two previous posts here, and moved from Installing Gentoo to Desktop Environments.
