Ah!  I lied.  Trampolines got sort of reworked after 2.7.2.1.  Everything
else was configure-level.  Still shouldn't affect the build, though.

Entirely possible.  I ditched libc-5 as soon as glibc-1.90 was available.
It really depends on how David's libc was built.

I'll wager that the problem stems from a blown gcc.  I'd recommend a gcc
recompile.

( ... of course, I can't reproduce the problem here: glibc and
egcs-current ... )
