[Description Charles Nérot 2013-08-27 07:45:29 UTC]

I'm trying to make a chroot on a corei7 desktop to do emerge for an atom media-center. So I prepare my chroot as describe in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/fr/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml (stage3-amd64-20130816.tar.bz2).
make some modification in make.conf :
CFLAGS="-march=atom -O2 -mssse3 -mfpmath=sse -pipe"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"

Then I follow the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/fr/gcc-upgrading.xml process. All was right until the 'emerge -eav system'. At this point I was unable to upgrade glibc.

Whatever I tried since, it failed with :
>>> Merging sys-libs/glibc-2.17 to /
 * Defaulting /etc/host.conf:multi to on
/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.17/temp/environment: line 2330: 25085 Illegal instruction     ./ld-*.so --library-path . ${x} > /dev/null
 * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.17::gentoo failed (preinst phase):

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-libs/glibc
Actual Results:  
>>> Merging sys-libs/glibc-2.17 to /
 * Defaulting /etc/host.conf:multi to on

[OK]

the Atom architecture includes support for an insn "movbe" which other Intel platforms (like the core i7) do not include.  hence the crash makes sense -- the code you built uses the "movbe" insn which is illegal on the system you're compiling.
