Re: [gentoo-user] troubles with emerge --sync

[Alexander Clark <aclark@wayfm.com>]

So I managed to fix the other wonkiness on my system (viz, gcc and  
emacs not emerging). Turns out, I had been sloppy in putting together  
my make.conf and used march=prescott when I should have been using  
march=pentium4. Fixed it, ran emerge -uDNe world. Things emerge now.

Unfortunately, the original problem with emerge --sync has not been  
resolved:

rsync error: sibling process crashed (code 15) at main.c(1505)
[generator=3.0.6]
 >>> Retrying...

and from dmesg:

grsec: signal 4 sent to /usr/bin/rsync[rsync:32164] uid/euid:0/0 gid/ 
egid:0/0, parent /usr/bin/rsync[rsync:32163] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0

Still getting this error. I took a look at the core dump using gdb:

(no debugging symbols found)
Core was generated by `rsync --recursive --links --safe-links --perms  
--times --compress --force --who'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.

Alan, thanks for letting me try this. Unfortunately, same result. I  
actually set up my own as well. All the other boxen in the rack are  
able to sync to it, but not this one.

I've tried re-emerging portage and rsync to no avail.

I'm running out of ideas...
