I am in tying to emerge system as part of stage2-> stage3 install step of gentoo. Portage however fails to install glib on my AMD64 system. This disables me from completing the necesarry steps to install gentoo. This problem occurs during stage2 of a fresh installation from stage1 (using the amd64 hardened profile) livecd / # emerge system Calculating system dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 21) dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) glib-1.2.10.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking glib-1.2.10.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/glib-1.2.10-r5/work * Applying glib-1.2.10-gcc34-fix.patch ...

if you `export FEATURES=autoconfig`, does it work ?
Yep, that does the trick for me Thanks a lot!
added FEATURES=autoconfig to all profiles
