Emerge of glibc fails with segmentation fault after compiling OK for a long while.

> > Where did you get the stage3 and how old is it? Stage3 is http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/releases/x86/2008.0/stages/stage3-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2 from Argonne National Laboratory mirror, (30-Jun-2008 10:11 112M). Since I have set CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" I unpacked the other tarball http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/releases/x86/2008.0/stages/stage3-i686-2008.0.tar.bz2 to a new partition, mounted /dev and /proc and did a chroot, but as soon as I try "env-update", I get a segfault: sh: line 1: 23614 Segmentation fault /sbin/ldconfig -r '/' So I stuck with the x86 (apparently a i486). In this one, lzma segfaults but that is easily fixed with a reemerge. Then some other ebuild requires /bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc, but since the x86 contains /bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. This is easily fixed by reemerging gcc. > How did you install 2.6.23-gentoo-r8-aktsin i686? > Are you updating this box or did something break before? This is a redhat box which is moving to bigger and better stuff. I created a partition and unpacked stage3 and portage tarballs. I could not do a chroot because the RH kernel was too old, so I compiled the kernel with the redhat system. This allowed me to boot into gentoo, where I finished installing the kernel modules. Then I emerged X and gvim (here's where the lzma issue came up). Then I did an ``emerge -u world'', and everything updates OK except for glibc. Since the emerge segfaults when ``make'' is installing a symlink, I figured ``make'' must have the same problem lzma showed. I reemerged and tried glibc again with same results. Apparently some other program which is being called by ``make'' to create the symbolic link must be rebuilt. I tried binutils but no go. Any clues to what else should be rebuilt before emerging glibc?
Try installing the latest stable kernel and boot into it then try again.
Yep. Installing kernel 2.6.27 fixed the problem. I suspect the problem with the old kernel was that it was built on a RH 2.4 kernel system. Probably with a very old gcc. Thanx.
