Install Gentoo Linux from stage1.
A error happened when it began to build sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
cd /mnt/gentoo
tar -xvjpf stage1-*.tar.bz2
tar xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
emerge --sync
cd /usr/portage
scripts/bootstrap.sh
Actual Results:

Your binutils is missing/incomplete/set up improperly... Anyway, stage1 install is completely unsupported, so you should know what you are doing or use stage3.

Hi Jakub,

Because I build from stage1 at Dec 28, 2007 using the same steps and it's ok.
I'm not sure stage1 install is completely unsupported.

Thanks for your response.

Best Regards,
Sam

Yeah, it is completely unsupported by us, if it breaks, it's up to you to pick up the pieces, do not file bugs about this. stage 1/2 is a byproduct of creating a releases and provided for convenience only.

Make sure you download a stage3 tarball - installations using a stage1 or stage2 tarball are not supported anymore.
