Trying to find out when glibc-2.3.4.20040605-r1.ebuild is gonna be added to portage for ~x86 users or if there is away to keep from having the modified ebuild removed from local portage when emerge sync is run. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Ebuild compiles and runs without problem, patches apply as expected. On a side not this entire system has been reemerged using emerge -euD world and has yet to have any major problems other then java issues which should be upstreamed as noted in bug report.

man make.conf Look for the section on PORTDIR_OVERLAY --- You're pretty brave to dive into such a critical library that is still masked. I've created some very unhappy machines dabbling with this. And I have some that its working just fine on. There are still a number of open issues with glibc not even compiling properly.
