Salutations --

I seem to have munged something pretty spectacularly.  A system that 
updates itself every couple of weeks, using a current portage tree, 
recently began emitting this error when running 'emerge -uD system':

  !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 failed.
  Call stack:
    ebuild.sh, line 1562:   Called dyn_setup
    ebuild.sh, line 665:   Called pkg_setup
    glibc-2.4-r3.ebuild, line 1079:   Called die

  !!! please add USE='nptl nptlonly' to make.conf

Obediently, albeit with trepidation, I added nptl and nptlonly to my USE 
flags and restarted the emerge.  The immediate result was a complaint 
that CHOST was incorrect, and that <= i686 was required.  Indeed, I 
found that CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu", and corrected it to be 
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu".  I then re-ran the emerge, resulting in this:

  configure: error:
  *** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc
  *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.

  !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 failed.
  Call stack:
    ebuild.sh, line 1546:   Called dyn_compile
    ebuild.sh, line 937:   Called src_compile

    glibc-2.4-r3.ebuild, line 941:   Called die

  !!! failed to configure glibc

In a hamfisted attempt to resolve the problem, I decided to try 'emerge 
- -e system', which begot the same error.  In desperation, I tried to 
re-bootstrap, and have now received this rude expletive:

Below is my make.conf:

If it is not yet apparent to anyone how I've got myself into this 
pickle, please let me know what other information I can provide.

Cheers .... -d

Yeah, you cannot just simply change CHOST.  It is a very fundamental
system setting.

You should search the archives of this list first.  But specifically read:

Bah, 169844 is not the one I wanted to link to.  I wanted this one:

Thank you; my apologies for not finding that and saving your time 
(especially since the thread was mere days ago ... gack ...)

I'll just rebuild the box; no biggie.  Cheers -d

You should use this one :)
