Well,
I was updating a system and gcc got broken somehow, and it doesn't seem
to be possible to fix it.
Problem:
# gcc -v
gcc: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by gcc)
OK, no biggie, I have a binpkg:
# emerge -1Ka glibc pax-utils
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[binary U ] app-misc/pax-utils-1.3.2 [1.2.9]
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_9* (-python3_10) -python3_8*"
[binary U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1 [2.32-r7] USE="-multilib-bootstrap%"
But:

Why is it checking the build environment for a binary package?
As it stands, I can't fix this problem.
I tried editing the ebuild (removing the __thread check) and rebuilding
the manifest but it still fails at the same place. I've double- and
triple-checked it's the right ebuild but it's still running the checks!
Some assistance on installing glibc would be much appreciated!
