21 That's what I did: I found a 2017 stage3 with a still older glibc and
22 managed to upgrade to a 2020 gentoo while masking the last glibc
23 versions. That was tricky because I had to git-checkout intermediate
24 versions of the portage tree in order to deal with the EAPI changes but
25 I have a working chroot now. Thanks.
