Makefile loop for glibc-2.3.2

[Marwan Badawi]

When I try to compile the glibc-2.3.2 sources, the makefile loops endlessly like so:

make[2]: Entering directory `/.amd/air/export/home/air/d02/siames/mbadawi/temp/glibc/string'

The compilation process has been running for 10 hours and it's still stuck endlessly in this loop.

Just for info, I'm running gcc 3.2 on Red Hat Linux 8.0 (3.2-7).

Thanks for the help,
