While emerging glibc-2.3.4.20041102, the patch application fails for the branch update patch. On looking at the log, the patch seems to be messed up (missing files referred to in it). I tried unzipping and applying the patch manually but it gave me similar errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1 2. 3.

weird, patch output looks fine ... if you re-emerge patch, does it work ?
Tried re-emerging then and got the same results. But the next day, I emerged some other packages and since then I am not able to reproduce this - glibc emerges cleanly. Closing this bug as I am not able to provide any more useful info.
