Trouble building current CVS libc on RH9


Hi,

I'm trying to build an October 22 CVS checkout of libc,
because I want to do some tests on current NPTL, 
and I'm having a few troubles.

First, I configure in a separate build directory:

$ pwd
/home/sean/Glibc/Current/build
$ ../libc/configure --with-tls --enable-add-ons=nptl --disable-profile --prefix=/home/sean/gnu 


Problem 1: configure fails in libc/nptl/sysdeps/pthread/configure,
due to "error: CFI directive support in assembler is required".
I upgraded to binutils 2.13.92 and this did not currect the error.
Is this actually an autoconf problem?


Problem 2: libc/libio build fails, because __EXCEPTIONS is not
defined in libc/nptl/sysdeps/pthread/bits/stdio-lock.h. How does
__EXCEPTIONS get defined, and why wouldn't it be defined here?


Problem 3: building libc/sunrpc fails in an assertion in NPTL code:

   rpcgen: ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c:132: __libc_fork:
   Assertion `({ __typeof (self->tid) __value; if (sizeof (__value) == 1)
   asm volatile ("movb %%gs:%P2,%b0" : "=q" (__value) : "0" (0), "i"
   (((size_t) &((struct pthread *)0)->tid))); else if (sizeof (__value)
   == 4) asm volatile ("movl %%gs:%P1,%0" : "=r" (__value) : "i"
   (((size_t) &((struct pthread *)0)->tid))); else { if (sizeof (__value)
   != 8) abort (); asm volatile ("movl %%gs:%P1,%%eax\n\t" "movl
   %%gs:%P2,%%edx" : "=A" (__value) : "i" (((size_t) &((struct pthread
   *)0)->tid)), "i" (((size_t) &((struct pthread *)0)->tid) + 4)); }
   __value; }) != ppid' failed.

What does this failure indicate? Considering how complex the assertion is,
it seems as likely that the assertion is faulty. Should I simply comment
it out?

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
