you should be able to use: ebuild <path-to-ebuild>/glibc-2.14.1-r3.ebuild package Quoting the manpage: package This command is a lot like the merge command, except that after fetching, unpacking, com‐ piling and installing, a .tbz2 binary package tarball is created and stored in PKGDIR (see make.conf(5)). You may need to set PKGDIR. WKR Hinnerk
