i am using the following :

1. kernel 2.4.2 headers
2. gcc - 2.95.2
3. binutils - 2.9.5
4. make - 3.79.1

the library was configured with
../../sources/glibc-2.2.2/configure --enable-kernel=2.4.2 --enable-add-ons 
--with-elf --with-headers=/home/akapoor/linux/include

can someone please let me know what am i doing wrong here ? 

tia
