hi David. thanks for your reply. i will try your suggestions and see
what happens.
rather than a bug in glibc, i suspect it is some error on my part as i
build up my
experience with gentoo. i hope to get over this issue and start using
and working
with gentoo soon.
regards,
daryl

Hi Daryl,
The builds fail. Could be a bug in Gentoo, a misconfiguration, etc.
I do not have the answer of what is going on wrong in this case,
maybe someone else will know.
I will do the following suggestions though.
1) Remove ~ppc64 from your keywords or try the glibc marked stable
(ppc64). ~ppc64 denotes the testing versions. If you are new, you
might want to go with the stable version for most packages, they
have been slightly tested better.
2) You can always skip glibc for now and install the other packages.
With:
emerge -av --oneshot pkg1 pkg2 ...
you will be able to merge pkg1 pkg2 ...
--oneshot will prevent them from being recorded in the world file.
If there is a build bug for glibc, it might be fixed some time soon.
Check bugs.gentoo.org and forums.gentoo.org for info too.
Welcome to the Gentoo world and good luck with this problem.
David
