Having backed up, I selected the no-multilib (stable) profile. I checked out how glibc would build... ==================================================================== [x8940][root][~] emerge -pv1 glibc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Dependency resolution took 3.33 s. [ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.36-r7:2.2::gentoo [2.36-r5:2.2::gentoo] USE="multiarch ssp (static-libs) -audit -caps (-cet) -compile-locales (-crypt) (-custom-cflags) -doc -gd -hash-sysv-compat -headers-only (-multilib*) -multilib-bootstrap -nscd -perl% -profile (-selinux) (-stack-realign*) -suid -systemd -systemtap -test (-vanilla)" 0 KiB ==================================================================== The forced (multilib) flag has changed to forced (-multilib). The other USE flag change is (-stack-realign). emerge -pv --changed-use --deep --update @world calls for glibc to to be updated (-multilib*) and (-stack-realign*) In addition, the profile change appears to cause 5 rebuilds... sys-libs/ncurses (-stack-realign*) sys-apps/sandbox (-32*) virtual/libcrypt (-32*) sys-libs/libxcrypt (-32*) sys-devel/gcc (-multilib*) The update is running. I'll check the emerge results after I get back from some shopping and fish-n-chips. -- I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.
