Changed from normal to test branch. Ran emerge --update --deep --newuse world 74 packages to emerge including GLIBC 2.3.4.2004.10.21 GLIBC compile has now been running > 30 hours - no errors - but seems to be repeatedly compliling tls.make & tls.makeT in linuxthreads Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit make.conf to ~x86 (test branch) 2. run emerge --update --deep --newuse world 3. Actual Results: Compile loops indefinitly on GLIBC Expected Results: Finished compliling GLIBC and then emerged next package No other applications running (SSH, INETD, SENDMAIL APACHE PROFTP servers)
Can you please post a list of the running tasks (e.g. from ps aux) and an emerge info output?

The same problem is also occurring with the 20041102 version of glibc. I have been working round this problem (to allow other updates to be applied) by adding the existing glibc to the package.mask file in /etc/portage Mike
`ps -aux` is not the same as `ps aux` going by the output of `emerge info`, you're not using nptl right ?
I don't know what nptl is :-( so I guess I'm not using it... Further information on this - following a crash of the system (caused by problems on the host) - a filesystem check was run - subsequent to that, the glibc install seemed to go OK - so I can only assume that the problem was caused by some odd corruption in the file system.
