I have a long time the problem that I am not able to upgrade the glibc on my server to 2.3.5 (or 2.3.5-r1, 2.3.5-r2) from 2.3.4.20041102-r1. The emerge stops very soon, and I nowhere found a solution or someone who also has exact this problem. I hope I dont have overlooked a bug. I also tried it without distcc, or ntplonly... Exact the same problem. I will also attach a log of emerge progress.

Created attachment 70166 [details] emerge log log created with: emerge -v \=sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5-r2 >& emerge.log
I got it compiled after a tip in the forum (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2907129#2907129) from the user fnord. I had to unset my utf8 locales. For that i removed my /etc/env.d/02locale file and re-logined. After that it compiled fine. For you info that was the content of my 02locale file: LANGUAGE="en_US.utf8" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro" LC_TIME="de_DE@euro" LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro" LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro" LC_NAME="de_DE@euro" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro" I leave this bug open because i dont know if that is a known problem, or simply normal. But from my side it could be closed.
User fixed the issue. I personally never ran into this, and it doesn't seem too widespread.
