Hello all,
First time user of Gentoo. We're wanting to run Matlab R14 SP2 64bit mode. According to Matlab site they support the Linux kernel 2.6.x and glibc-2.3.2. Non of the current linux distro (i.e. Fedora) has that old of glibc. So looking at Gentoo thinking I can build the Gentoo system based on glibc-2.3.2. I'm doing a stage 1 install, and not quite understanding this portage tree stuff. I have tried to put the following in /etc/portage/package.mask:

    >=sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3

and /etc/portage/package.unmask

    =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r12

but bootstrapping the system is failing with deps on glibc newer than what I want. Am I going about this wrong????
