cannot link glibc-2.3.1

I keep getting the error :

I've configured glibc with:
--prefix=/usr/local/gibsonglibc --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu
--disable-sanity-checks --enable-kernel=2.4.19 --disable-profile

(Trust me I actually do need all that.  I can explain why off-list, but
isn't really relevant here.  Unless that's the problem...)

I've gotten the same error using gcc 3.2 and 2.95.3, ld 2.11.90.0.19 and
2.12.90.0.9 20020526.

Any ideas you have are welcome.  Thanks.
