Oddly, I had some google hits to that effect.  I can't recall exactly
what I was searching for but on one of them, I did see glibc mentioned
as the issue.  I just figured it would fail on other packages as well if
it was the problem so thought it unrelated.  Well, maybe it is after
all.  I dunno.  Good question. 

I seem to recall glibc being one of those packages that you can't
downgrade.  Sort of chicken to upgrade, just in case the problem gets
even worse.  Here's a little more info on my system.

Yea, I'm using a old kernel.  I haven't rebooted in a while now.  I just
wonder what that glibc 2.23-r2 would be like??  Anyone here took a drive
around the block with that version? 

I just synced again.  Going to see if anything changes or not but I
doubt it will.  I didn't see any changes to the qtwebkit ebuild.
