Thats right on both counts.

Your first attempt at emerging glibc clearly completed the compile and
started the copy to the live system (then there must have been a
crash/powerloss/^C or something).

Emerge glibc-2.3.2-r9 again, then upgrade/downgrade it to whatever
version you want to fix the issue.

What are Software Patents for?
To protect the small enterprise from bigger companies.

What do Software Patents do?
In its current form, they protect only companies with
big legal departments as they:
a.) Patent everything no matter how general
b.) Sue everybody. Even if the patent can be argued
invalid, small companies can ill-afford the
typical $500k cost of a law-suit (not to mention
years of harassment).

Don't let them take away your right to program
whatever you like. Make a stand on Software Patents
before its too late.
