I'm trying to emerge glibc 2.4, but it fails every time I try to build it. Do I need to upgrade GCC to 4.1 first, before compiling glibc 2.4, or should this work? I noticed it said it was having problems making x86, so maybe it's an error since I run 64-bit. ('course, it could be multilib too). Any light you could shed on the subject would be great. | x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E -undef -Iinclude -I/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.4-r3/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-nptl -Isysdeps/i386/elf -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/i686 -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386 -Isysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386 -Iports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -Inptl/sysdeps/pthread -Isysdeps/pthread -Isysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -Isysdeps/gnu -Isysdeps/unix/common -Isysdeps/unix/mman -Isysdeps/unix/inet -Iports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/i386 -Isysdeps/unix/sysv/i386 -Iports/sysdeps/unix/sysv -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv -Isysdeps/unix/sysv -Isysdeps/unix/i386 -Iports/sysdeps/unix -Inptl/sysdeps/unix -Isysdeps/unix -Isysdeps/posix -Isysdeps/i386/i686/fpu -Inptl/sysdeps/i386/i686 -Isysdeps/i386/i686 -Isysdeps/i386/i486 -Inptl/sysdeps/i386/i486 -Isysdeps/i386/fpu -Inptl/sysdeps/i386 -Isysdeps/i386 -Isysdeps/wordsize-32 -Isysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96 -Isysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64 -Isysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 -Isysdeps/ieee754 -Isysdeps/generic/elf -Isysdeps/generic -Iports -Inptl -Ilibio -I. -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/include -isystem /usr/include -D_LIBC_REENTRANT -include include/libc-symbols.h \ -DASSEMBLER -x assembler-with-cpp - \ > /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.4-r3/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/Versions.v.iT In file included from nptl/sysdeps/i386/i686/tls.h:34, from include/tls.h:6, from <stdin>:1: nptl/sysdeps/i386/i686/../tls.h:65:3: #error "TLS support is required." make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.4-r3/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/Versions.v.i] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.4-r3/work/glibc-2.4' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

(In reply to comment #0) > Do I need to upgrade GCC to 4.1 first, before compiling glibc 2.4 Might be a good idea, your multilib setup looks broken.
Upgrading to GCC 4.1 first fixed the issue. Thanks.
