2.2.4 test-lfs fails with 'invalid argument'

[Jochen Jost]

While building glibc-2.2.4 goes without problems, 'make
check' fails with

/home/jochen/glibc-2.2.4-build/io/test-lfs:
  cannot write test string to large file: Invalid argument

Inserting some printf's into test-lfs.c yielded a positive
fd, and a return value -1 (what else?).  make and make check
for glibc-2.2.3 doesn't show this.  I build 2.2.4 with
glibc-2.2.3, glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.4.tar.gz, and
glibc-2.2.3-2.2.4.diff.gz, in this order.  Configure was
done with:
CFLAGS='-O2 -march=i586' /tmp/glibc-2.2.4/configure \
  --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons \
  --with-headers=/usr/src/linux/include/ \
  --enable-kernel=2.2.15

Some info:
gcc is 2.95.3, binutils is GNU ld 2.11.90.0.31.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Jochen

p.s.  How to debug a case like this one?  That is, how to
tell GDB to use another dynamic loader when debugging?  Any
pointers?
