How about because that is set from the default installation and that 95%
of the folks on this list couldn't even tell you what it is for and when
it is appropriate to change the setting?
How about the high probability that this person is not running their own
DNS and is using /etc/hosts for local name resolution?
Or how about the fact that glibc 2.3.6-r3 (as 2.3.6 in general) is
masked in Portage indicating that you should expect problems if you're
going to build your box on an unstable version of glibc?
Sure it is not the answer for someone running their own DNS (which I do)
and has their .local zone defined (as I do), and in this case it might
actually be a bug (which is probable since that version of glibc is
still masked).
But without the OP specifying that he *was* running his own DNS and
*had* his .local zone set up and *was known* to be able to handle a base
system running from masked glibc, you can't assume that he's even
slightly qualified to diagnose and resolve this issue.
So the simple answer of removing the line is probably the right one for him.
