Hello support,

I have problem upgrading gentoo on my pegasos II G4. After 'emerge --update --deep world' globc fails during meke with following error:
(...)

I tried some googling but found nothing interesting concerning this problem. My 'emerge --info':

Can you please provide any workaround how to compile new glibc??
Best regards,
