We have got a number of legacy Gentoo-based machines and are trying to upgrade them. At least three of these hosts fail with a common error emerging the latest glibc:

We tried to find references to _dl_sysinfo on another Gentoo machine, but to no avail:
xxxxxx ~ # find /lib64/ -name "*.so" -exec strings {} \; | grep dl_sysinfo
xxxxxx ~ # find /usr/lib64/ -name "*.so" -exec strings {} \; | grep dl_sysinfo
xxxxxx ~ #
We also tried to add -fPIC -DPIC to CFLAGS but the error persisted.
We are not sure why glibc package has to be updated at all because we already installed the latest one using PORTAGE_BINHOST. The same is for gcc.
The question is: how to fix this?
Update: I just noticed that switching the profile from hardened/linux/amd64 to default/linux/amd64/13.0 prevents glibc from emerging, but this is just a temporary fix. We definitely want to stay on the hardened profile.
