unable to build glibc-2.3.1 ...

[Josh Fryman]

hi,

i haven't seen the process to join this mailing list, and the glibc
web page doesn't allow subscription to the bug-glibc one... the
obvious mail 'subscribe' try didn't work, so, please CC me on any
replies as i'm not on the list :)

i'm trying to build a cross-hosted toolchain using glibc 2.3.1...  
at the bottom of this message is the script i've put together to
build the toolchain with all options.  the host box is an
i686-pc-linux-gnu RH8 base.  no existing ARM-XScale tools are on
the system, so this is a first-time bootstrap...

the relevant clips are:

--------------
../glibc-2.3.1-src/configure armv5b-linux --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--with-headers=/usr/local/xscale/src/linux-adi-brh//include --enable-add-ons 
--enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local/armv5b-linux/ --with-cpu=xscale 
--without-fp --enable-kernel=2.4.19
--------------

the failure occurs here:

does anyone have any ideas?  i looked through the mailing list, but 
haven't seen anything...

here's the script i'm running:
