update: setting FEATURES="-ccache" appeares to clear the problem, i.e. emerge goes through and updates glibc. still, a meaningful diagnostic would be useful.
Thank you for the report. We need to have all information at hand before ticket assignment. That is why I ask you to * attach the logs and * paste the emerge info as described on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Attach_the_logs_to_the_bug_ticket Users on IRC #gentoo could help you to collect additional information on this problem, so that a developer can work with this ticket. Please reopen this ticket (Status:UNCONFIRMED) afterwards.
