If so, I suspect hardware problems:
1. Dirty/bad CPU fan. Try blowing out your system.

memory test script discussed on this list some weeks ago. Search the
archives, or maybe someone else can provide a link.
3. Bad power supply.
Also, assuming that you have ACPI thermal zone support in your kernel, you
might want to monitor the processor temperature with:
while sleep 1 ; do cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature; done
Richard,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I suspect memory problems, due to
the output of equery depends and the output of emerge mozilla. I
downloaded a binary of gcc-3.3.4 and managed to compile mozilla with it
(but still no joy with equery). Then I compiled gcc-3.3.6 and tried
again with gcc-3.3.6. Failure again.
I rebooted. Mistake! We're talking about a remote computer, and I lost
contact (won't be able to go there for a week or so). Kernel panic,
maybe. Since I didn't touch kernel nor grub, everything points to hw
failure. The computer is less than 1 year old :(
I usually monitor the hd's temperature with hddtemp (always very good
temperature) but never did anything of the kind with other hardware
components, being unable to find my way through lmsensors documentation.
I'll try your script when (or if) this mess gets cleaned up.
Regards,
Jorge
