Trying to upgrade a mips system to the new ~mips. Mostly, this has gone ok, with a few notable exceptions (binutils, utils-linux, glibc, and e2fsprogs). I could see how the problem being reported here *could* be tied to one of the others, but it's not clear to be precisely how, so it's unclear how to untangle the web. Gcc seems to have had a patch for tls_get_addr for a long time <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-03/msg00925.html> so I don't know where this problem is coming from. Anyway, compiling sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.6 fails for me.

Perhaps upgrade your glibc to something decent... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 204102 ***
(In reply to comment #2) > Perhaps upgrade your glibc to something decent... > > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 204102 *** > What do you consider decent? I filed bug #211684 on trying to get to glibc-2.6.1 (current ~mips). If glibc-2.3.6-r4 is too old, which of the version between it and 2.6.1 is decent: 2.3.6-r5 [M](~)2.4-r4 [M]2.5-r2 [M]2.5-r3 [M]2.5-r4 [M]**2.5.1 [M]~*2.6 ? Any suggestions helpful. It takes a full day plus to compile, so I hate wasting the time on something that has no chance of making it.
(In reply to comment #2) > Perhaps upgrade your glibc to something decent... Just wanted to confirm that--now that one *can* upgrade to a newer glibc-- e2fsprogs also compiles as suggested. Problem with compiling glibc was reported in Bug #211684. Now that that is fixed, so is this bug resolved for me.
