I updated to this version of Glibc 181027 & emerged other pkgs successfully.
I don't use the 'multiarch' USE flag.

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you (smile),
but there mb a USE flag or similar which needs changing.

NB above : the error you cite is '4' :
this shows there are other errors '1' '2' '3' above, which are more important.
It would help if you find them & report them to the list.

No doubt others will offer more detailed advice.
