6 A couple of years ago I had all kinds of trouble with my amd64 system. In
7 one of the replies to my request for help, it was suggested that I use the
8 CFLAGS listed. I am not cleaver enough to know what they do but I haven't
9 had many problems since using them. I'm sorry but I can not remember the

12 I have just run the glibc update with MAKEOPTS=-j1 and have the same error
13 to do with symlinks.
14 I'm sure that some time ago their was an update symlinks checker, but I
15 can't find it. Any ideas?
