glibc 2.2.5 build fails on linux libc5

[Oliver Schurr]

Linux x86, libc5, 2.0.39, gcc 2.95.3 compiled from sources,
binutils 2.11.2 also compiled from sources, all that using gcc 2.7.2.3
successfully.

gcc 2.95 and binutils installed in /opt tree and LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined

as /opt/lib in addition to the ususal standard locations in 'ldconfig'

mkdir glibc-obj
cd glibc-obj
../gcc-2.2.5/configure --prefix=/opt  --disable-sanity-checks
make -j2

The compilation is done using gcc 2.95.3 and the error messages as
follows

Using 'make' only does not change things at all.

Any help would be appreciated.
