Hi Joseph,

Sorry to go lights out - many things going on, for months.

Your advice was spot on, and I have finally found out my mistake.

I had created a symlink from /usr/include to /usr/local/include because I just
want a flatter system.  For me, somethings things will "accidentally" wind up
in /usr/local instead of /usr and then there are version conflicts.  It seemed
like a good thing at the time but now turns out to be a terrible mistake.  Once
I removed the symlink, all worked perfectly.

I can honestly say that I've battled with this issue, only apparent in the
build of glibc, for years!  Funny how such a simple thing can cause such a
convoluted outcome.

Many thanks for your help!

Best regards,

David
