I've wanted to re-compile my glibc but unfortunatelly the merge breaks with the following message:

i love this error because no one apparently knows how to fix it.
i have copied make.conf from ppl with SAME EXACT system as me and still get error with nptl use flag
out of about 30 different time starting over with a stage1 i manage to successfully compile once but now its been about 2 weeks of constant attempts and havent been able to compile it again. It compiles so rarely i dont know what it is i do different to make it work.

It would be nice if someone could help me and the other guy with this, because this problem has been going on since last June. I stopped using gentoo last year because of it and now im trying again, but my attempt looks futile................

Is there much of a difference between nptl glibc and non-nptl glibc

I've solved my problem but unfotunatelly I can't remember all the things I've done. One of my problems was I've upgraded from x86 to amd64 and left all old files in my "/etc" directory. So there was a problem with "gcc-config" choosing the right compiler. Anyway, there were also one or two other things I've done to get glibc compiling again. If I've got some spare time I'll try to figure out what I've done (Currently at work, so I can't waste time for that in the moment).

yeah anything that you could do to help is appreciated. i think i remember before that i couldnt compile is with anything other than gcc-3.4.4 and all i have been trying is 4.0.2 and conrad 4.0.3 so i will give that a shot also.

One of things I've got back on top of my head is that Ive rebuilded world ("emerge -e world"). Anyway, if I get some more spare time I'll try to remember the other steps I've performed (Next time I'll post my solution directly to the thread).
BTW what's your system? if it is similiar mine, I could create binary packages of the needed stuff (glibc, binutils, gcc).

Thanks alot but i got it fixed now. The first time I compile glibc it must be with binutils-2.16.91.0.5 and gcc-3.4.3 then i can recompile it with gcc-4.0*
binutils-2.16.1-r1 wont compile glibc and gives me the TLS Required error.............weird.............

Nice to hear that it works for you now. I've marked this thread as solved so people having same problem can see they'll find a solution hear.

yeah bad thing that that version of binutils is masked right now ! this isn't quite a solution thought

I solved this problem myself, but the solution confounds me.

At the time the "TLS support is required" error came up during glibc compile, the only compiler I had activated was for x86_64 CTARGET. By activating the i686 CTARGET with eselect, then switching back to x86_64 as the default, glibc compile worked.

Why is it that glibc is building against 32bit includes when I have an x86_64 CHOST?

I had this same problem yesterday, when I discovered that eselect-compiler had been masked and I removed it from my system. When trying to compile the new glibc-2.4-r4, I got the message about TLS support being needed. "gcc-config -l" showed that the correct version of gcc was selected, but the problem went away when I used "gcc-config -f" to force it to reselect that version of gcc.

Now a fun joke for us hardened TLS debuggers. Do you see it?

SPOILER: Today I can't see it either*

Good to hear !!

It's about a week I'm working on a script to compile my toolchain and i didn't notice the problem because I started tweak my CFLAGS and LDFLAGS at same time I update my glibc :oops:

. And I was looking why my toolchain build failed each time. I know now. So it's funny since i start back from really stable CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to stable optimised one, adding flags one by one, and recompile my toolchain each time. I was so surprised that the last set have been build completely since it was same configuration that failed before.

So now everything is fine but I get the same problem and it fixes by itself finally... Amazing :roll:

I just had this problem on a box I am building for a virtual server. A little frustrating but it ends up after I just upgraded gcc from 3.4.4 to 4.1.2 and then switched the compiler with gcc-config I did not do a source /etc/profile so glibc-2.5 failed with this error all 10 times I tried to emerge it (trying various things from this thread)...

[EDIT]
Now after installing gcc-4.1.2 on the same box glibc-2.5 failed with the same error. So eventually after trying the same steps again like 10 times again (even the things that worked in the last pass) I downgraded gcc-config, removed eselect-compiler and used the gcc-config -f and that worked. Very frustrating....

i only have i686-pc-linux-gnu available in gcc-config -l, but i have recently switched to amd64, changed cflags,chost and profile, but now i cant recompile glibc (tls support error) nor gcc. any suggestions ? ah forgot to mention, i already updated my kernel THX a lOT in advance

I had this issue four times until I finally figured it out. The funny thing is that it had no logic, first time, 3 months, second time, 2 days, third time, 5 MINUTES...

Here, it was related to a make.conf misconfiguration. The fix was just about removing two variables, $CC and $CXX:
