I'm trying to upgrade glibc from 2.6.1 to 2.10.1-r1 using gcc-4.1.2 so I can then upgrade gcc and world but the compilation always stops at the phase where it touches the stamp.o[sS] files complaining that it doesn't exist. But it does. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge -v glibc or emerge -uav glibc Actual Results: make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.10.1-r1/work/glibc-2.10.1/manual' make[2]:

post the full build log as an attachment i wouldnt be surprised if you need to upgrade your coreutils to latest stable considering how old your kernel is ...
