I solved problem. 
If in glibc-2.3.2-r9.ebuild change MIN_NPTL_KV from 2.6.0 to 2.4.21
and comment these lines :

    if use_nptl
    then
        # The use_nptl should have already taken care of kernel version,
        # arch and CHOST, so now just check if we can find suitable
kernel
        # source tree or headers ....
        einfon "Checking for sufficient version kernel headers ... "
        if ! get_KHV "`KV_to_int ${MIN_NPTL_KV}`" &> /dev/null
        then
            echo "no"
            echo
            eerror "Could not find a kernel source tree or headers with"
            eerror "version ${MIN_NPTL_KV} or later!  Please correct
this"
            eerror "and try again."
            die "Insufficient kernel headers present!"
        else
            echo "yes"
        fi
    fi

all works fine on redhat kernel, on other kernel now I get:

behigh glibc-2.3.2-r9 # chroot .
cannot set up thread-local storage: set_thread_area failed when setting
up thread-local storage

behigh glibc-2.3.2-r9 #
