Created attachment 100333 [details] build failure
This looks like an issue with either your gcc or your binutils. Could you try to remerge both and try building db again?
ok np give me some time :)
I think you were right on this, my bad. rebuild glibc binutils gcc, then remerged and it merged fine... :)
