Hello

Following this guide
Code:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/sparc/multilib.xml


I get this error
Code:
 * Sanity check to keep you from breaking your system:
 *  Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction
 * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2 failed:
 *   aborting to save your system


I have glibc 2.10 installed
There is no multilib binary glibc-2.10
Apparently I cant downgrade glibc
So am I stuck?

why not keyword the one you want?

Code:
echo "=sys-libs/glibc-2.10.1-r1" > /etc/portage/package.keywords


and see if it unmasks the one you want?

this may describe the problem better
i dont have a multilib gcc to build a multilib glibc
thats why i need a pre-built miltilib glibc package to build a multilib gcc
the only one available is glibc-2.9

it not can or cant i compile glibc 2.10
its i cant installed the multilib glibc 2.10 hence the need for a binary multilib glibc-2.10

yes followed the guide

The guides states

Code:
Install a multilib glibc

To compile a multilib glibc you need a biarch gcc but to compile a biarch gcc you need a multilib glibc.


Catch 22 situation
So i need a binary biarch as provided by the guide
While compiling gcc I get this error

Code:
checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile

Are you emerging a new updated version of gcc when your compile fails?
i.e did you follow that doc to the end before trying to emerge the latest gcc?

I was remerging the same gcc version and it was failing

I managed to fix it by doing the following
I used a stage3 2008 and chroot to it
install the biarch binary glic2.9
compile basic gcc4.3.4 (this is where i always got stuck before)
compile glibc2.10
compile gcc4.3.4 with all the features I need

I decided to compile a basic gcc first because I thought some extra feature might have been causing the problem, I don't know if the is necessary
I now have the latest stable glibc and gcc in biarch
I dont know why it didnt work on my current machine, or a slightly older copy with glibc2.9
