Hello, Gentoo. Would somebody help me here, please.
When I try to emerge glibc-2.33-r1, the very first phase of the build crashes out with: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -pipe -march=native -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed glibc-test.c -o glibc-test * Checking that IA32 emulation is enabled in the running kernel ... /usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.33-r1.ebuild: line 608: 199 Segmentation fault "${T}/check-ia32-emulation.elf32" [ !! ] * ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1::gentoo failed (pretend phase): * CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION must be enabled in the kernel to compile a multilib glibc. * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 127: Called pkg_pretend * glibc-2.33-r1.ebuild, line 721: Called sanity_prechecks * glibc-2.33-r1.ebuild, line 670: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * [[ $STAT -eq 0 ]] || die "CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION must be enabled in the kernel to compile a multilib glibc." * * If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1::gentoo'`, * the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1::gentoo'`. * The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1/temp/die.env'. * Working directory: '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1/empty' * S: '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1/work/glibc-2.33' >>> Failed to emerge sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r1/temp/build.log' What is clearly happening is that the C Compiler is crashing out with a segfault. I actually have CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION in my kernel config. I've tried this with both GCC-10.3.0 and GCC-9.3.0 with the same results on both. What is going wrong?
