<cpuid.h> is only provided by gcc 4.3 or higher, so it looks like glibc can no longer be built with older versions.
(In reply to comment #1) Thank you. I have masked the blighter already.
glibc-2.11 now requires gcc-4.3+ on x86
*** Bug 292469 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
amd64 needs it too. See duplicate above.
amd64 doesnt need it. only the x86 binaries do (multilib). http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.11.ebuild?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
I got this error but I have gcc-4.4.2, so I should have this cpuid.h no ? Desktop ~ # emerge -pv gcc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

workaround : get the cpuid.h file from official GCC respositories (http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/tags/gcc_4_4_2_release/gcc/config/i386/cpuid.h?view=co) and put it into /usr/include. glibc should compile without problem now.
(In reply to comment #8) Excellent tip. Worked with gcc-4.1.2 Thank you.
*forehead slap*
on amd64 gcc-config [gcc-4.3-profile-id] solves problem (as soon as you have gcc-4.3 installed)
Thank you so much, this worked for me.

Great Tip, I wish developer would think about....and add to the package
no. fix your system instead of screwing it up.
Shouldn't you instead fix the broken dependencies instead of blaming and insulting the users? Also, this bug is not fixed and should not be marked as such.
again, wrong. try reading the ebuild.
(In reply to comment #19) > again, wrong. try reading the ebuild. > And read the manual? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml Until there is a valid argument on why upgrade glibc but not gcc, I think this bug is invalid. (In reply to comment #18) > Shouldn't you instead fix the broken dependencies instead of blaming and > insulting the users? Also, this bug is not fixed and should not be marked as > such. > What broken dependency? Glibc-2.11.2 does on amd64 and x86 (affected platforms) depend on >=gcc-4.3 so you must have it installed to be able to even try to merge it. And when merging a new version of GCC portage tells you to read the linked guide to actually finish the upgrade (i.e. activate new GCC version). So why accuse a dev of insulting users when the dev tell users that they are breaking their systems when the users try to work around that they do not read instructions? Is there a reason for upgrading a system critical package (glibc) without wanting to upgrade another system critical package (GCC) and instead possible breaking systems by importing header files from newer versions of GCC?
In my typical state of laziness, I only quickly skimmed through the comments, missing comment #3. I apologised to spanky privately. To everyone else, kindly ignore my comments on this bug.
