I've always been curious about something in emerge --info's output:

$ emerge --info
Portage 2.2_rc12 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2,
glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.27-gentoo-r1 x86_64)
=================================================================
System uname:
Linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r1-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_6600_@_2.40GHz-with-glibc2.2.5
Timestamp of tree: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:31:02 +0000

Why does it show the glibc-2.8 on the second line but glibc2.2.5 on the fifth?

Thanks,
Paul
