emerge dietlibc fails (seg fault

general

I'm trying to install the RedHat mkinitrd, and one of its dependencies is dietlibc. Emerging dietlibc gives me the following error:

localhost root # emerge dietlibc
. . .
strip -R .comment -R .note bin-i386/diet-i
bin-i386/diet gcc -O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fno-stack-protector -o bin-i386/elftrunc contrib/elftrunc.c
make: *** [bin-i386/elftrunc] Segmentation fault

Anything that I try to do with the diet executable just segfaults.

This happens with gcc-3.3.3 and gcc-3.4.1 on my linode (even a fresh gentoo install). I can't reproduce the failure on my gentoo box at home, so I'm wondering if UML might be interfering somehow?

dietlibc 0.23 and 0.25 emerged OK on my Linode 64 (with gcc 3.3.3-r6) so it doesn't look like a UML/Linode specific problem with dietlibc.

Hm… just noticed something. I can build the bin-i386/diet executable running the 2.4.26-linode31-1um kernel or the 2.6.7-linode3-1um kernel, but it always segfaults running under the 2.6.7 kernel.

Both my builds were done under 2.4.26-linode31-1um.
