Description Ed Catmur 2006-03-15 19:40:45 UTC 
Plenty of people (bug 125905 etc.) are trying to build glibc 2.4 with CHOST=i386-pc-linux-gnu USE="nptl nptlonly" and getting confused by the die message.

It would save time overall to adjust the die message when CHOST=i386-pc-linux-gnu: 

    if want_linuxthreads ; then
        ewarn "glibc-2.4 is nptl-only!"
        if ! use nptl || ! use nptlonly; then
            die "please add USE='nptl nptlonly' to make.conf"
        else
            ewarn "Your system is not compatible with nptl, probably because of CHOST or /etc/make.profile symlink"
            die "please add '>=sys-libs/glibc-2.4' to your local package.mask"
        fi

added a message for i386-* CHOSTs:
 * NPTL requires a CHOST of i486 or better
