Since this is really getting a FAQ, I'm appending an entry for glibc's
FAQ. Uli, please add it to glibc 2.1.
Thanks,
Andreas

Great! To get this bug fixed convince the authorities to change the laws
and regulations of the country this effects. glibc behaves correctly.

+{AJ} GNU make 3.77 has support for 64 bit filesystems which is slightly
+broken (and one of the new features in the GNU C library 2.1 is 64 bit
+filesystem support :-( ). To get a working make you can use either make
+3.75 or patch 3.77. A working patch is available via RedHat's Rawhide server
+(ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/SRPMS/SRPMS/make-3.77-*src.rpm).
