I tried to update glibc today and this error appeared: repeats many times : In file included from sysdeps/unix/sysdep.h:21, from sysdeps/unix/i386/sysdep.h:19, from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sysdep.h:24, from <stdin>:1: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/syscall.h:25:24: asm/unistd.h: No such file or directory In file included from sysdeps/unix/sysdep.h:21, from sysdeps/unix/i386/sysdep.h:19, from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sysdep.h:24, from <stdin>:1: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/syscall.h:25:24: asm/unistd.h: No such file or directory In file included from sysdeps/unix/sysdep.h:21, from sysdeps/unix/i386/sysdep.h:19, from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sysdep.h:24, from <stdin>:1: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/syscall.h:25:24: asm/unistd.h: No such file or directory mv -f /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/sysd-syscallsT /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/sysd-syscalls gawk 'BEGIN { subdirs = ""; inhibit = "" }; \ /^#/ { next }; \ /^[^-]/ { subdirs = subdirs " " $0 }; \ /^-/ { inhibit = inhibit " " substr($0, 2) }; \ END { printf "sysdep-subdirs =%s\n", subdirs; \ printf "sysdep-inhibit-subdirs =%s\n", inhibit; \ print "sysd-dirs-done = t" }' \ /dev/null nptl/sysdeps/pthread/Subdirs sysdeps/unix/inet/Subdirs sysdeps/unix/Subdirs > /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/sysd-dirs-tmp mv -f /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/sysd-dirs-tmp /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/sysd-dirs make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2' make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2' { echo '#include "posix/bits/posix1_lim.h"'; \ echo '#define _LIBC 1'; \ echo '#include "misc/sys/uio.h"'; } | \ gcc -E -dM -MD -MP -MF /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/bits/stdio_lim.dT -MT '/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/bits/stdio_lim.h /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/bits/stdio_lim.d' \ -Iinclude -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere -Ilibio -Inptl -I/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere -Isysdeps/i386/elf -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/i686 -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386 -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -Inptl/sysdeps/pthread -Isysdeps/pthread -Inptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv -Inptl/sysdeps/unix -Inptl/sysdeps/i386/i686 -Inptl/sysdeps/i386 -Isysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386 -Isysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -Isysdeps/gnu -Isysdeps/unix/common -Isysdeps/unix/mman -Isysdeps/unix/inet -Isysdeps/unix/sysv/i386 -Isysdeps/unix/sysv -Isysdeps/unix/i386 -Isysdeps/unix -Isysdeps/posix -Isysdeps/i386/i686/fpu -Isysdeps/i386/i686 -Isysdeps/i386/i486 -Inptl/sysdeps/i386/i486 -Isysdeps/i386/fpu -Isysdeps/i386 -Isysdeps/wordsize-32 -Isysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96 -Isysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64 -Isysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 -Isysdeps/ieee754 -Isysdeps/generic/elf -Isysdeps/generic -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/include -isystem /lib/modules/2.6.4-rc2-love1/build/include -xc - -o /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/bits/stdio_lim.hT In file included from posix/bits/posix1_lim.h:130, from <stdin>:1: nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/local_lim.h:36:26: linux/limits.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2/buildhere/bits/stdio_lim.st] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420/work/glibc-2.3.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

Created attachment 32861 [details] emerge output
well I changed my kernel to 2.6.5-love5 and it works now
Same thing happens for me. It broke around the same time I did a linux-headers remerge and I can see a possible relationship given the "asm/unistd.h" error. I'm running 2.6.7 stock. Is it ok to be running linux-headers-2.4.22 when I'm running a 2.6 kernel? I can remerge linux-headers without problems, but not glibc. I do have a /usr/include/asm/unistd.h file in place. I will investigating issues related to my /usr/src tree. There's probably a problem in include directory there, or with one of the symlinks pointed there. A kernel rebuild/reinstall might do the trick.
Yup, a kernel rebuild/install cycle fixed whatever include files and/or symlinks had gotten out of whack with my actual runtime, and glibc now emerges fine. Recommend closing this bug as not a bug. It's not in glibc, it's not in emerge, it's not reproducible. (Though I'm sure toolchain@gentoo.org already knew that :) The official workaround can be "reinstall the kernel".
btw, linux-headers 2.6.6-r1 seems pretty bug-less. these are currently the suggested 2.6 headers. and no, it isnt a problem to use 2.4 headers while running a 2.6 kernel.
