A couple of years ago I had all kinds of trouble with my amd64 system. In
one of the replies to my request for help, it was suggested that I use the
CFLAGS listed. I am not cleaver enough to know what they do but I haven't
had many problems since using them. I'm sorry but I can not remember the
experts name -- I thought it was you.
I have just run the glibc update with MAKEOPTS=-j1 and have the same error
to do with symlinks.
I'm sure that some time ago their was an update symlinks checker, but I
can't find it. Any ideas?

Meanwhile, AFAIK entirely unrelated to your problem but I'm curious as I
always like to see what other people have in their CFLAGS when I have a
chance, why are you using -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs ? I don't see
anything
in the gcc manpage info on that machine/arch-flag to suggest why I might
wish to disable it, and it seems a rather odd arch-flag to simply throw
in
at random, so I'm wondering what the reasoning is. I'm definitely NOT
saying it's wrong. Quite the contrary; with a bit more info, I might
find
it useful here... or not, but I don't know at this point. So got a link
or something I could read?
