dhcpcd some strange problems

I have a gentoo 1.4rc4 install vom stage2 (stage 1 failed because of the k6 stepping 1 & more than 32MB RAM error crap). anyway everything works fine (I even have a full KDE + X compiled and ready), BUT the dhcpcd does not work.
I have some other gentoo(s) running here and they all run fine with dhcpcd.

Anyway, when I set dhcp in the net config and I start the network I get this error in /var/log/messages
Jun 17 16:02:16 linux-clemens dhcpcd[6974]: terminating on signal 4
Jun 17 16:02:16 linux-clemens dhcpcd[6974]: dhcpStop: ioctl SIOCSIFADDR: Bad file descrip tor
Jun 17 16:02:16 linux-clemens dhcpcd[6974]: dhcpStop: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: Bad file descri ptor

when I run 'strace dhcpcd eth0' I find this strange lines:

bind(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6

, sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}}, 16) = 0
fcntl64(4, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
open("/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.cache", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
ioctl(3, 0x8915, 0xbffff940) = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="linux-clemens.tequila.intern", ...}) = 0
--- SIGILL (Illegal instruction) ---

he doesn't find the dhcpc/ stuff there nor does he create it, after that he just hangs and eats all my cpu time

well, I will google on perhaps I can find something. Perhaps someone here knows what I am missing (btw, I already tried to recompile dhcpcd).

I've never used dhcpd with linux (only *bsd) but a common error is not to have created the dhcpd.leases file.

Could be worth checking out.
I belive that it should generate an error about the file missing though but you never know.

Douh!

I'll try to read the post more carefully next time. Sorry.
