Since I'm already following this thread for a while I thought I could give it 
a try too. 
I got exactly the same error (internal compiler error) like Gerd when I used 
gcc-3.4.0. 
After switching to gcc-3.3.3 (Gentoo _does_ make this easy - just use 
gcc-config to switch) this error dissappeared but I'm getting another one 
later in the build process instead:

Any help is welcome!
