While upgrading to 3.2.2 compilation crashes for every package after kdesdk (inclusive). The error produced is: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0: invalid ELF header Configuration: gcc-3.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-r9 I then tried unmerging all of KDE, and upgrading to gcc-3.4/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529.ebuild. emerge kde-3.2.1 emerged OK emerge -uUD kde-3.2.2 dies again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge kde-3.2.1 2. emerge -uUD kde-3.2.2 Actual Results: executing /usr/kde/3.2/bin/meinproc during compalation of kdesdk (and every package afterwards) produced the following: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0: invalid ELF header Expected Results: ummm... build. gcc-3.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-r9 upgraded to gcc-3.4/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529.ebuild, and trie again -- same results.

The problem is fixed and was actually caused by a very subtle circular dependency of /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 and /usr/lib/libpthread.so A full bug report was filed as #53854 detailing how to replicate and fix the problem with glibc's installation. EBo --
