(In reply to comment #2) > Please attach the config.log - should be in > /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.5-r1/work/glibc-2.3.5/ or similar. I'm having the same problem. The config.log file said it couldn't find ac_nonexistent.h while trying to compile conftest.c

Umm. I seem to have resolved this problem on my own. I think it was related to multilib. I guess multilib isn't quite ready for prime time yet, so... I vaguely remember that the solution was that you have to emerge the packages: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-{glibc,compat,baselibs,qtlibs,gtklibs,xlibs} Anyway, I must have solved it, because glibc-2.3.5-r1 is now installed on my system.
