That URL works for me.

Great!

Your configure error seems to be because glibc
is worried about NPTL working; see
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2006-01/msg00051.html
If all you want to do is install headers, don't use --enable-add-ons,
that should help.  Here's the command crosstool uses:


        # The following three things have to be done to build
glibc-2.3.x, but they don't hurt older versions.
        # 1. override CC to keep glibc's configure from using $TARGET-gcc.
        # 2. disable linuxthreads, which needs a real cross-compiler
to generate tcb-offsets.h properly
        # 3. build with gcc 3.2 or later
        # Compare these options with the ones used when building glibc
for real below - they're different.
        # As of glibc-2.3.2, to get this step to work for hppa-linux,
you need --enable-hacker-mode
        # so when configure checks to make sure gcc has access to the
assembler you just built...
        # Alternately, we could put ${PREFIX}/${TARGET}/bin on the path.
        # Set --build so maybe we don't have to specify
"cross-compiling=yes" below (haven't tried yet)
        # Note: the warning
        # "*** WARNING: Are you sure you do not want to use the `linuxthreads'"
        # *** add-on?"
        # is ok here, since all we want are the basic headers at this point.
        # Override libc_cv_ppc_machine so glibc-cvs doesn't complain
        # 'a version of binutils that supports .machine "altivec" is needed'.
        libc_cv_ppc_machine=yes \
        CC=gcc \
            ${GLIBC_DIR}/configure --prefix=/usr \
            --build=$BUILD --host=$TARGET \
            --without-cvs --disable-sanity-checks --with-headers=$HEADERDIR \
            --enable-hacker-mode
