1) make output:

  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  LD      init/mounts.o
ls -Al -m elf_x86_64 -r -o init/mounts.o init/do_mounts.o
init/do_mounts_initrd.o init/mounts.o: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [init/mounts.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

There is an LD, the ls line is part of the error message.

2) df -i

Filesystem      Inodes  IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
rootfs         1313280   5652 1307628    1% /
/dev/root      1313280   5652 1307628    1% /
devtmpfs        385505    785  384720    1% /dev
rc-svcdir       385724     63  385661    1% /lib64/rc/init.d
/tmpfs          385724      1  385723    1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda12      130560     23  130537    1% /boot

/dev/sda16     6119424 275818 5843606    5% /var

3) /usr/src is ext4, and all ebuilds run without problems.
If something is wrong with the file system, maybe an fsck would
show it, so I'll try that.

4) swapon -s

Filename				Type		Size
Used	Priority /dev/sda13
partition	10482376	0	-1

immediately after running make.

Remaking the swap area resulted in the same line as above.

But without doubt you are right that mounts.o is not built, for
whatever reason. The build command

init/.do_mounts.o.cmd:cmd_init/do_mounts.o := gcc
-Wp,-MD,init/.do_mounts.o.d -nostdinc
-isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/include
-I/usr/src/linux-3.2.12-gentoo/arch/x86/include

init/do_mounts.c

contains a directive to build mounts.o, see second last line, but
it for some reason this is ignored.
Maybe there is a flaw in that command, only I can't find it.
