I had used some pre 2.5 glibcs. Updating to 2.5 did not work, because of 
gcc-config problems - but one of the devs said, I should remove 
overlay-software.. and come back after that. The onl overlay software was the 
glibc.. so I downgraded - and everything fell apart.

As I said, no boot, because udev did not work. Half of the apps did not work. 
Lots and lots of problems. I got it booting and halfway working, than read, 
that it may be gcc-config related. It was.. so I did not had to rebuilt 
everything, just emerged the 2.5 glibc.

But I will never ever again downgrade a glibc...
