By toolchain do you mean gcc/binutils? Both have been built since I've
had glibc 2.8 installed. When I build my kernel I just "make all"
(after configuring, of course).

I've never even had glibc2.2.5 on this computer. The earliest was 2.5
and I've been using 2.8 since June. That's why the message confuses
me. "uname -a" does not actually mention anything about glibc, but
emerge --info is getting it from somewhere. I haven't tried to look
into the depths of emerge sources yet to figure out exactly where it's
getting that info.

Thanks,
Paul
