What Dale meant is to try installling sys-libs/glibc-2.10.1-r1. I have not
checked the depencencies, but the idea is that this version of glibc does
not depend on the new gcc, which would pull in the new glibc. So try this:
emerge -1a =sys-libs/glibc-2.10.1-r1
If it does not work, I'd try another glibc. eix sys-libs/glibc lists them
all.
