your clock is screwed up: make[2]: Warning: File `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.4-r3/work/build-default-i686-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/elf/in terp.os' has modification time 1e+03 s in the future
fix your clock/system and then try emerging glibc again
(In reply to comment #6) > fix your clock/system and then try emerging glibc again > You are right. I updated the clock, re-emerged glibc, and did not receive the error. Spurious bug after all. My mistake.
