sys-libs/glibc-2.11.3 fails to emerge on a system with no-multilib profile. The rootcause for this is an attempt to build 32-bit ABI, which is obviously not possible. This used to work fine on this system - glibc is already installed, I'm trying to re-emerge it: # emerge -pv glibc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.11.3 USE="gd nls -debug -glibc-omitfp (-hardened) (-multilib) -profile (-selinux) -vanilla" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB # ls -la /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 Oct 8 13:23 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib No configuration changes were made to the system for quite a bit of time. A bit of debugging narrows the issue to the /usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/files/eblits/common.eblit or it's vicinity - before this file is processed, MULTILIB_ABIS is set to 'amd64', afterwards to 'amd64 x86' which ultimately leads to glibc attempting to build 32-bit ABI, which blows up. It appears that this particular file was modified on 9.03.2011, which reinforces the theory that it's the cause of this issue, or at least contributes to it: # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/eblits/common.eblit,v 1.13 2011/03/09 08:10:38 vapier Exp $ This thread covers another instance of this issue: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/227165 - please note it has started on 9.03.2011 I'll attach the output of emerge -vd glibc to the bug Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge glibc
