checking for thread implementation... posix-HANG emerge glib

Hello all,

I've run into a problem trying to update world on one of my machines here. It seems to be a problem with libpthread but I'm not sure. It all started of course after trying to do an emerge -uDdp world. One of the packages got hung up during the configuration phase of the compile while checking for pthreads.

So I've searched the forums and came across "An emerge wrapper for correctly building the toolchain" and have successfully rebuilt my toochain twice. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=282474&highlight=

Now no matter how hard I try I can not get glib to emerge. I've tried emerging it by itself. I've even tried using the tcupdate.sh -w command and it always hangs up during the configuration phase of the compile with this message.

checking for thread implementation... posix

I have also tried to run revdep-rebuild and it comes up clean.

I am at wits end. What can I try now? I am this close to taking the "Windows Way Out" and just wiping the machine and re-installing. Help!!

Yeah, I saw your post and that was what led me to the toolchain discussion. I guess you're still in the same boat huh? At least you're not the only one with this problem if that counts for anything.
