Ugh... OK, you have *completely* screwed system. How the heck did you manage to have those zillions of glibc/gcc/sandbox/automake/autoconf/binutils/os-headers etc. etc. etc. things installed at the same time??? There's nothing we could debug on such broken system, sorry. INVALID, I'd suggest reinstall from scratch.
And *never ever* set AUTOCLEAN="no" again.
screwed may be but everything runs really smooth, ok, except for this update :|
