I am following the instructions on upgrading amd64 from 2004.3 profile to 2005.0, found at http://amd64.gentoo.org/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=1 as asked to by portage. Running the script as asked cranks away for a while, and finally the glibc compile dies with this error: {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:1818: Error: bad register name `%r4096' {standard input}:1818: Error: no such instruction: `d' make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.5-r1/work/build-default-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-linuxthreads/crypt/crypt_util.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.5-r1/work/glibc-2.3.5/crypt' make[1]: *** [crypt/others] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.5-r1/work/glibc-2.3.5' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

try again with -r2
no response, so i assume -r2 did the trick. if not, please reopen
How odd--it appears my response to the "-r2" suggestion was not recorded. I sent it via email rather than the web interface. Here it is again: Sorry to be dense, but...what? :-) Is that a command line option, or a new ebuild revision number, or the square of the negative value of the radius, or...?
with -r2 Mike meant 2.3.5-r2, the latest stable glibc
(In reply to comment #4) > with -r2 Mike meant 2.3.5-r2, the latest stable glibc Thanks for the clarification. :-) It appears that after doing `emerge sync` and thereby picking up 2.3.5-r2, the process has completed successfully. Hooray!
