[gentoo-user] glibc 2.4-r3 upgrade dies

[James]

Hello,

Routinely upgrading an older Pentium Pro  system, 
I get this glibc error:

Any ideas what to do to fix this?

gcc-config -l show that it's using 
i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6 
but
i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1
is installed.  Should I switch to 4.1.1?

any thing else I could try?


James
