you neglected to provide any information here

post the output of `emerge info` like the bug report page tells you to

Justin Patrin: Ever go to Ramstein AHS? Just curious. Quickfix is to disable FEATURES=binpkg and quickpkg it at the end. There is something wrong with the creation of the info directory in the build, I'd imagine. What exactly I don't know. If you can duplicate it by hand (man ebuild) then get the info (ls -l) of the info dir PORTAGE_TMPDIR/gcc-*/inf* and post it, it'd help.
:-) Well, it's certainly a small world. Yes, I went to Ramstein AHS. I don't see binpkg in my emerge info and I don't know what quickpkg is. I've never gotten into the internals of emerge or ebuild, so I'm pretty much in the dark. AFAIK, it got all installed, it's just not recorded as installed. I have keepwork in my FEATURES so that I don't have to recompile every time I try this and the tmp dir is still there. /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.3.20040420 No info directories, only build-info.
Well, I just did an emerge sync; emerge -auD world again and glibc updated. I'm not sure what fixed it.
