Created attachment 60477 [details] The output of scripts/bootstrap.sh --debug
what does this output ? $ gcc -c /usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/files/test-__thread.c
Well, the problem seems to come from gcc or gcc-config. The old gcc gets unmerged, and gcc-config is not updated with the new profile. When we start to merge glibc, not only don't we have a gcc that supports the __thread directive, we don't have a gcc at all...

So bootstrap.sh builds the new gcc, merges it, unmerges the stage provided one, but never runs gcc- config... This must be an error in the toolchain.eclass maybe? Also note that this is broken on x86, ~x86, amd64 and ~amd64... So certainly on all other arches too...
I have run into the same problem (platform x86).
dsd fixed the gcc-config in toolchain.eclass yesterday
