Hi,
Our server is getting stuck on updating packages. We can not seem to
get past the upgrade to glibc. Sometimes it fails, with an error, and
sometimes it actually kills the machine requiring reboot, examples of
both below. Sorry if this is a known problem, but I’ve been looking
and struggling with it for a couple of weeks. Any help would be
appreciated, here’s the info from emerge,

1. Check you RAM with memtest86+.
2. Drop your CFLAGS to "-march=opteron -O2 -pipe". Extreme CFLAGS wont
improve your performance anyway and I'm a bit suprised you're using such
CFLAGS on a server.
3. You aren't supposed to use a x86 profile on a x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
system. Change to an amd64 profile instead.
