With distcc enabled, even when distccd is not running, glibc-2.11.1 compilation fails early. Removing "distcc" from FEATURES in /etc/make.conf seems to be a workaround. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sys-libs/glibc 2. Wait a few seconds 3. Compilation stops. Actual Results: The linker barfed on a component om nptl apparently: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.11.1/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/csu/init.o' is incompatible with i386 output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status distcc[626] ERROR: compile (null) on localhost failed make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.11.1/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/csu/crt1.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.11.1/work/build-x86-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/csu/init.o' is incompatible with i386 output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Expected Results: A shiny new glibc, quickly compiled with distcc. I first attempted to compile with distcc. That failed with the same error you see above. I shut down the distcc daemons and made one more attempt, with the same result. saigon yk # emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.11-r1, 2.6.33-gentoo-r1-1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r1-1-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_Processor_3400+-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 07:15:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [enabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p37 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.1.0_beta1 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.33 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /var/lib/redmine/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests ccache collision-protect distcc distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.gentoo.se http://mirror.gentoo.no/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j12" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X aio alsa amd64 berkdb bzip2 cairo cli cracklib crypt cxx dri ffmpeg flac fortran gif git glibc-omitfp gmp iconv jpeg lapack mmap mmx mmxext modules mp3 mudflap multilib ncurses nptl nptlonly ogg opengl pam pcre png pppd qt4 radeon radeonhd readline reflection sdl session spl sse sse2 ssl svg symlink sysfs threads tiff unicode vorbis x264 xcb xorg xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="via82xx via82xx-modem" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="radeonhd" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
