If I try to re-emerge glibc-2.3.6 though it complains that "downgrading" is a sure way to destruction. I'm pretty sure it would be safe for me to downgrade because I didn't really do much of anything after installing 2.4 so I'm not sure what the problem would be. The problem is that it still think 2.4 is installed. Ah, here we go. emerge -C =glibc-2.4* worked fully this time (it didn't work fully before, which I forgot to mention). Now it will let me re-emerge =glibc-2.3* overtop of the quickpkg that I unpacked. I am also not compiling with nptlonly (which came in to my profile through 2006.1), so it is now emerging with the exact same use flags that it was before (and the same as what the quickpkg is made from). So hopefully everything will be cool and I will be able to reboot into this machine (I couldn't even boot into it after this b0rking happend).
