Problems building i386-Version of glibc-2.3.2

[Michael Brunnbauer]

hi all

I have problems building a Version of glibc-2.3.2 with gcc-3.2.3 on my
Linux system with kernel 2.4.20 that will run on older CPUs.

If I compile with "../configure --enable-add-ons --prefix=/usr", make and
make check will not report any errors and the resulting glibc will not run 
on older CPUs.

If I add "i386-pc-linux-gnu" or "--host=i386-pc-linux-gnu" to the options 
above, configure says:

[...]
checking for i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... no
checking for i386-pc-linux-gnu-cc... no
[...]
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc

If I additionally set CC to "/usr/bin/cc" or "/usr/bin/gcc", make will 
work but make check will report errors.

If I additionally set CFLAGS to "-g -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i386", the 
same problem will occur with make check.

Am I doing something wrong ? If not: Is somebody willing to have a deeper 
look into this ? I can provide any information requested.

cu,
brunni
