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

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