Assertion failed in ld.so: rtld.c: 1180: dl_main when compilingglibc-2.3.3

[Enrique Perez-Terron <enrio at online dot no>]

I downloaded glibc-2.3.3 and tried to compile it using the following
commands:

  cd /var/tmp
  rm -rf glibc-2.3.3 glibc-build
  tar jxf ~/glibc-2.3.3.tar.bz2
  mkdir glibc-build
  cd glibc-build
  /var/tmp/glibc-2.3.3/configure                           \
     --pref=/usr                                           \
     --enable-add-ons                                      \
     --with-tls                                            \
     --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.6.7-1.494.2.2/include \
     --enable-kernel=2.6.6 &&
  make &&
  make check || exit 1

I then get the following error (for legibility, I have broken and
indented the colon-separated library-path, and added backslash to all
continued lines, also response/error message lines):

  CPP='gcc -E -x c-header'  /var/tmp/glibc-build/elf/ld-linux.so.2 \

At this point the log file (stdout + stderr) is 9478976 bytes.

I run an up-to-date Fedora Core 2 with 

  $ rpm -q --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" \
                           glibc gcc binutils

Any ideas?

I am compiling glibc because I want to use native posix thread (nptl)
cross-process-safe mutexes, which is supported by my CPU/kernel, while
the Fedora-provided glibc is for i386 which does not support nptl.

Thanks,
