I am experiencing exactly the same problem, although I was able to compile
glibc-2.3.5-r1 on another machine as a binary and thus upgrade. 

The same problem seems to happen every now and then with other commands, I'll be
trying to figure out the cause of that.

Comment 3 Dokter Bob 2005-08-27 07:07:18 UTC
Looking at the uname, I noticed that the problem occurred in both of the cases
on a 2.6.11-hardened-r13+. 
Comment 4 Christian Parpart (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-27 09:07:53 UTC
yup, same here - happens on other make's as well... couldn't figure out why 
yet :(  
Comment 5 Lorand Kelemen 2006-02-28 01:51:43 UTC
Struggling with this bug for an year or so now, not having time (and knowledge) to resolve.

My findings:
- It can be a kernel related bug (in smp environments ?) - found some clues on LKML, can't remember where...

- It happens not only during compiling, but during "everyday use". Sometimes I see cronjobs reporting this error instead of running and I'm sure there are other processes dying with this error...

> try upgrading to glibc-2.3.6-r2 or glibc-2.3.6-r3
I've just managed to compile glibc-2.3.6-r3 after 400 tries with help of ccache and a little script.
Few minutes ago I did an upgrade and all seemed well. Untill I tried to compile glibc again for testing, since this build seems paradoxally enough to be extremely capable of reproducing the error. And guess what I got?

Right, the same error again:

Now, someone with either a remarkable sense of distinction or an awfull lot of time on his hands might notice the disappearing of "pic" amongst my usage flags since I find myself any reason why put it there in the first place.

Right now we're running two production servers on Gentoo, both having this problem since we installed Gentoo on them in the first place. Which by now seems to be turning out one of the biggest mistakes I ever made since becoming a sysop.

It seems obvious to me this bug is _not_ solved, cannot AFAIK be easily circumvented and since it f*cks up production systems _is_ to be considered pretty serious.

USE=pic doesnt affect the glibc ebuild and has been removed in newer ebuilds
