Just above code listing 2.8 at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=1 it says "Now just build glibc, unmerge the emul-* ones and update the base system." which I've heard is inaccurate. It's causing problems for lots of folks, so can we get some clarification please?
Thanks,

Danny, please clarify what change you would like made to the upgrade guide. I've never completed an upgrade personally, I just do a clean install using 2005.0 stages - so I'd like to know precisely what the proper procedure is :)

Fixed it myself. It shouldn't have been 'unmerge emul-*' but only 'unemerge
emul-linux-x86-glibc' :-)
FIXED
