All those complications are completely unneccessary and have been so for
several years. That includes most of the configure options you pass to
glibc's configure script (--enable-kernel=2.6.32 --disable-profile
--without-cvs --with-elf --without-gd --disable-sanity-checks --with-tls
--with-__thread should do nothing whatever useful in recent years for any
supported glibc configuration) and all the *_cv_* config.cache variables
you set (likewise obsoleted a long time ago - for example,
libc_cv_forced_unwind and libc_cv_c_cleanup settings were obsoleted by my
patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-03/msg00171.html>).
