while compiling packages you get as segfaults

Fix/Answer

Short summary of circumventing the problem (from forums):
#1 emerge a binary package (.tbz2) of an earlier version of binutils (e.g. -r1), if you didn't make yourself ones of previous versions, use:
x86: http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/dist/x86-binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r4.tbz2
amd64: http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/dist/amd64-binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r4.tbz2
#2 mask -r3 in /etc/portage/package.mask:
echo "=sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r3" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
#3 (suggested) reemerge binutils
#4 monitor this bug and remove mask from #2 if it is fixed.

Description:

There is a bad patch (53_all_gcc4-lovin.patch.bz2) in binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r3.
