Bug 98364 – can't compile anything after downgrading from sys-libs/glibc-2.3.5 (~x86) to sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1 (x86)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Kögl 2005-07-08 09:03:02 UTC]

I recently changed from ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86".
Therefore I had to downgrade a few packages including glibc. After finishing the
merge, every other build fails (see attachment)

Unfortunately not much we can do - you just cannot downgrade glibc if you
already compiled some critical packages against it.  You will need to get a
.tbz2 of a 2.3.5 glibc for pentium3 from somebody, and install that.
