A recent emerge --sync and upgrade of my system causes the system to become corrupted after the emerge of glibc-2.16. After doing this, my system is unstable with many commands generating segmentation faults. As an exercise, I ran a memtest from the LiveDVD and saw no errors. I ran through the installation again and get a system of with the 20131031 release snapshot; however, I did emerge --sync and just updated glibc (from 2.15-r3) and got the same error: (I'm retyping, so forgive any typos) The ebuild phase 'postrm' has been killed by signal 11. The 'postrm' phase of the 'sys-lib/glibc-2.15-r3' package has failed with exit value 1 The problem occurred while executing the ebuild file named 'glibc-2.15-r3' located in the /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.15-r3' directory. If necessary, manual remove the environment.bz2 file and/or the ebuild file located in that directory. Removal of the environment.bz2 file is preferred since it may allow the remove phases to execute successfully. The ebuild will be sourced and the eclasses from the current portage tree will be used when necessary. Remove of the ebuild file will cause pkg_prerm() and pkg_postrm() remove phases to be skipped entirely Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: So this happened on my main dev system :( But I reproduced it by: 1. Running through an installation from the gentoo documentation using the stage3 tarball from 20131031 2. During the installation I did an emerge-websync 3. Post setup, I rebooted 4. Did an emerge of @world with --pretend to see what all needed to be updated, saw that glibc was first on the list 5. Emerge of glibc - and it failed emerge --update --deep --newuse glibc (will attach a log of the files the system wanted to update) Actual Results: Emerge of glibc failed. Expected Results: Emerge of glibc to succeed. As this brought down my system, I going to mark this as critical bug.
Created attachment 364244 [details] List of packages the system wanted me to update output of emerge --update --deep --newuse @world after an install from the stage3 tarball: stage3-amd64-20131031.tar.bz2
Same happened here twice. One in a qemu virtual machine, the other one in an stable chroot. Both amd64.
1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment. 2) Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
As per the initial report, I cannot provide this information requested because the machine in inoperable. What I can do is give you an emerge --info from the same machine that I rebuilt (for the second time) of prior to any upgrade of glibc. That is below: Portage 2.2.7 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.15-r3, 3.10.17-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname:

Duplicate of bug #492892.
I can confirm that the solution mentioned in the linked bug resolves the issue. I.e. from make.conf remove the flag '-frecord-gcc-switches' from CFLAGS
