1 Hi,
2
3 Applogies for the cross-post. I'm unsure if this is and amd64 specific
4 problem or a more general b0rkage.

6 I've posted about my failing glibc emerges before:

10 I think I've narrowed it down to ldconfig running during the emerge. In
11 fact at the moment any time I run ldconfig it breaks the system so that
12 I cannot spawn any new shells (they segfault straight away). I can
13 restore my system by untaring a rescue glibc binary.
14
15 Can anyone give me any hints on how to diagnose the problem with
16 ldconfig and why things stop working when its done?

18 I'm currently building a parallel world on a second partition (in a
19 chrooted environment) to see if there are any differences between the
20 two setups (i.e a subtle breakage occured and was never picked up).
