P.S.: I was just told of one fail-to-fix; not certain of the cpu
involved, but I figured the fail needed to be noted here, for completeness.

Hello,
While emerging x.org I get an 'Illegal instruction' in the directory
xc/fonts/scaled/Type1, seems like fc-cache is throwing this
exception. I get this 'illegal instruction' also when I just execute
/usr/bin/fc-cache ... I did a stage 3 installation using the universal
cd. Have any one experienced this before?
Thanks,
Hendré.

I've given this advice several times, and it seems to work -- it did
for me, which is why I know it & give it out regularly.
Gentoo compiles overheat certain cpus.
In bios or wherever, reduce your cpu clock by ~~25%, and try it again;
this is known to work.
Best,
rgh.
