I agree.


On the segfault, it still happens when built from freshly untarred source:

mkdir /usr/src/glibc-build
cd /usr/src/glibc-build
CFLAGS="-pipe" ../glibc-2.2.1/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons
make

[...]
/usr/src/glibc-build/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path
/usr/src/glibc-build:/usr/src/glibc-build/math:/usr/src/glibc-build/elf:/usr/src/glibc-build/dlfcn:/usr/src/glibc-build/nss:/usr/src/glibc-build/nis:/usr/src/glibc-build/rt:/usr/src/glibc-build/resolv:/usr/src/glibc-build/crypt:/usr/src/glibc-build/linuxthreads
/usr/src/glibc-build/sunrpc/rpcgen -Y `gcc -print-file-name=cpp | sed 
's|/cpp$||'` -c rpcsvc/bootparam_prot.x -o
/usr/src/glibc-build/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.T
