Error building glibc-2.1.3

[rakesh gupta]

Hi Group , 
    I have been trying to build glibc -2.1.3  but without any
success !! 
  

I have gcc - 3.2.2 

The following were the steps that I followed .. 

I downloaded glibc-2.1.3.tar.gz 

unpacked it 

added glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.3.tar.gz and crypto dist.

crated a build directory "glibc-build"

Tried to configure it .. 

configure gives the follwing error !

I was able to get around this by changing the configure scripts
it did not have entries for version of Gcc > 2.9.* and
definitely not fro 3.*

so I was able to configure it but when I ran make it halted
after the following .

Any help or pointers regarding the error would help . Are there
any compatiblity issues with gcc - 3.2.2 and glibc - 2.1.3 ..
