I'm installing a Gentoo system on Lemote Fuloong 2E. The problem occurs while emerging system, when coming to upgrade glibc from 2.6.1 (the version in the stage tarball) to 2.11-r1. I came to have it compiled by disabling the sandbox feature, but emerge fails after compilation, because of failed checks.

no plans to look at this ... i'll leave it for mips team to check out since everything compiled fine, but the final exec sanity test failed btw, mips really should move up to ~glibc-2.11.2
I was trying glibc-2.11-r1 because of missing mips keyword in the glibc-2.11.2 ebuild. I tried installing glibc-2.11.2 too after cross-compiling it because of the large time needed for compilation on the mips machine. It fails in exactly the same way, and also glibc-2.11-r1 fails again the same way when cross-compiled instead of compiled natively. The cross-compiler used is: mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc --version mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc (Gentoo 4.4.4-r1 p1.0, pie-0.4.5) 4.4.4.
* Checking kernel version (2.6.34 >= 2.6.9) ... [ ok ] * Checking linux-headers version (2.6.24 >= 2.6.9) [ ok ] This looks suspect. Try updating your kernel-headers to the same version. I see errors like Testing ASCII/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.11-r1/work/build-default-mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-nptl/iconvdata/tst-table-to: symbol lookup error: /lib/libdl.so.2: undefined symbol: GLIBC_PRIVATE, version GLIBC_PRIVATE *** FAILED *** and mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1) Please submit a full bug report. See <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions. and symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gcc/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libgcc_s.so.1: undefined symbol: GCC_3.0, version GCC_3.0 Lines in your emerge --config like sys-devel/gcc: 3.4.6-r2, 4.1.2 are also telling. You need to update linux-headers and gcc before updating glibc. I imagine that these failures will go away with a more modern compiler. I'm going to close this bug, but please reopen if you find that this is still a problem with gcc-4.4.x and linux-headers-2.6.34.
the kernel version differences shouldnt matter. glibc should fully support any kernel header version as long as it is at least as new as the min (NPTL_KERN_VER -> 2.6.9) and is not newer than the running version (which is 2.6.34 in this case). if it is broken because of that, it's a bug we should fix in glibc. the "killed cc1" error though is bad. it means you're either running out of memory (so increase it, or try removing -pipe), or your kernel sucks (which means fix your flaky kernel). the libgcc_s.so error is bad ... but it shouldnt be a problem with having two versions of gcc installed side by side. as long as the default (4.1) matches the /lib/libgcc_s.so.x file, it should be ok. but the newer version of 4.1 should not be missing symbols from older versions of 3.4. so that'll need investigating. not sure where the libdl error is coming from. execution of the tests should only be using the local libraries, not the host ones. mips doesnt use sandbox, so that shouldnt be a problem.
