Description Michael Griffin 2007-01-11 16:26:39 UTC

I just Emerge -u World and found that glic5.5 emerged in my system, I also found several of my programs that I compile with -m32 flag that use multilib and the emul packages like libstdc++ and ptheads all compile fine giving no errors, but when they are run are segdefault showing links on these libs.

I've had to wipe my system out and mask this so i don't have a copy/paste but this is a huge problem if these libs aren't compitable anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" not !amd64 Emerge -u World
2. Emerge glibc5.5
3. Compile using g++ with -m32 to build 32 bit program on 64 bit proc

Actual Results:  
Everything Compiles fine, no errors or warning.
Program Seg Defaults with link of pthreads and libstdc++.

Expected Results:  
No problem were expected as i've never had problems with my programs or code until new glibc5.5 version was emerged!

Just trying to find out what happened with glib and if they are infact not compitable with the current multi-lib environment and pthreads, no errors or warning are given and it leaves you pretty clueless.

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" Stable Verson
emerge -u world 

Glibc5.5 Emerges and multilib or programs compiled using -m32 that link pthreads and libstdc++ compile fine, but all segdefault.

you forgot to post `emerge --info`

you also should post `emerge glibc >& log` as an attachment
