Trying to remerge glibc-2.3.4.20040808 after upgrading to linux26-headers-2.6.8.1 but the emerge fails during the install phase (I broke it down separately to verify - the compile phase is fine). I have tried remerging gettext as well as bash, including downgrading them as well. The error remains.

"msgfmt -o ja.mo ja.po" fails even when done manually from the shell. If I rename "/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.4.20040808/work/glibc-2.3.3/po/ja.po" to "/var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.4.20040808/work/glibc-2.3.3/po/ja.po.bak" then the "ebuild /usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.3.4.20040808.ebuild install" will complete.
I'm going to go ahead and assume this is fixed in newer versions of glibc. Reopen it if I'm wrong.
