Howdy, I'm reinstalling Gentoo on my OLD rig. It's x86. I have two issues which will be seen in the error below. Sort of hard to miss. Anyway, I started with the latest stage3 tarball. I've got it to where it boots up and all and am in the process of trying to do a emerge -e system which will also update everything as well. My problem is glibc and the locale settings. May be a separate issue or related. Here is the boo boo.

I'm pretty sure glibc takes care of that but not 100% sure. I checked my main rig for differences in USE flags, multilib is the only one I see. It is set on my main rig and doesn't seem to be available on x86 for obvious reasons. If this is not enough info, let me know what you need. I don't want to flood with tons of unneeded info when usually that above gives enough of a hint. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
