glibc-2.10.1-r1 compile failed

[Kanna]

I'm using the 2008-12 portage build right now and there is a new glibc that it's suggesting I upgrade to. Unfortunately when I try to build it this error appears:

Is there any way of fixing this? There's a kernel patch for openvz but since I don't have access to it I'm stuck.
