I don't know what exactly happens on the build-system. but on the system-system(wow:) I end up having a 0-byte libc-2.2.3.so so I don't know why this is... it's very easy to regenerate te error (did it a few times, I thought it was just me:) so either portage has a buggy, or glibc 2.2.3-r1.ebuild is buggy (because I never got it to build+installed using portage). please fix this or help me :) --- another small thing I don't like (and I'm not the only one, I spoke some guys on #gentoo who think the same) the portage-tree is TOOOO big :) there are things in it like diffs(some quite big) and even the logo-header-file(almost 2M). can't we just put all files/* stuff in a separate place on ibiblio/cvs and put them in ebuild-files? (or let portage check if there are any diffs/patches/additions) I mean the portage-tree should just contain enough info to download+build everything... having diff's in there for packages that I'm not gonna install anyway seems useless to me. It's about 20M now... should be possible to reduce it to 2Mb :) not because of bandwith, just for clean design. Some others DO care about bandwith, which I can understand also. Greetings /Mathijs
