Re: segfault in elf/ld-linux.so.2 (alphaev67-unknown-linux-gnu)

OK, so I installed egcs-20000807.tar.gz (I have no idea where to look
for debian/patches/alpha-complex-float.dpatch - all hints welcome - so I
grabbed the development snapshot in the hope that it includes the patch:
I couldn't see any evidence to support that hope, but it's the best
currently open to me), rebuilt the glibc-2.1.92, got as far as make
check, this failed:

I don't pretend to understand what this is about.

Platform is alphaev67-unknown-linux-gnu, version is glibc-2.1.92 with
glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.92, built using make-3.79.1 and
egcs-20000807.tar.gz, the latter being built with binutils-2.10.
Tell me what information you need beyond this and I'll try to obtain it.
