As far as I understand this, latest CVS and glibc-2.2.2 have two different
problems.

Same here. Looking through libc-hack mailing list archives I found that
there were ome changes to atexit, and related makefiles or something very
resently. First post related to this is at 03/03/2001,

Same here. It seems that test whether GCC is working or not
inappropriately fails. I think it is GLIBC configure problem, which is
fixed in latest CVS.

All of above is just my guessing, since I currently neither have time, nor
patience to dive into configure and Makefile hell of glibc & gcc
