Hello

Not too much hope to emerge anything . I thought portage was up to date,
but "emerge -uDvNt world" gives :

and each time I launch "emerge --resume --skipfirst" , it fails .

I tried to emerge glibc, and it fails with :

do you know what is "forced unwind support" and how to enable it ?

thanks again .
