While I have years of experience administering Windows and Solaris 8, please
bear with me because my experience in linux and with GCC is still very
rudimentary. I just started using smgl a few days ago. I got the kernel to
compile without any problems using only a couple of special flags (basically
just my processor type and making my network card drivers a static part of
the kernel instead of a module). When I got the system booted the first
thing I did was tried to compile X.org <http://X.org> so I could have
fluxbox and firefox while I compiled the rest of the system. Everything
seemed to be going fine for an our an a half, when all of the sudden it
error'ed out saying it couldn't compile. I then had the same problem with
the CVS version (I had started with 6.8.2), XFree86 both 4.3 branch and 4.5,
and xdirectfb CVS version. I then decided to recompile the tools binutils,
gcc, g++, gettext, but got the same error with glibc. I can compile some
other programs, like lynx and naim, and everything else seems to work fine.
I've been combing through FAQ's and HOWTO's for a while now and have come up
pretty empty. Is there something simple I'm missing to get this to work? I
couldn't really tell you what the problem is, checking the log it just says
Error 2 then leaves a bunch of directories, but I can post the latter part
of it if that helps things. A couple steps I've tried already are running
cleanse --fix to repair any broken installs and removing optimization flags
from the compiler to see if any of those were causing the issue. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you've either forgotten to set your architecture in
sorcery->Option->Optimize Architecture or you've chosen the wrong
architecture in that menu.

You can compare your CPU (`cat /proc/cpuinfo`) with your selection
(`grep ARCHITECTURE /etc/sorcery/local/config`).
