[Bug libc/10062] 'make' for glibc-2.9 fails even though 'configure' is OK

["sergstesh at yahoo dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Regarding http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=333 and


"
The developers do builds and
make check runs on a regular basis, and if there is any real problem they will
notice it and fix it quickly.
"

- this is ridiculous - the basic theorem about SW testing says: tests can only
prove presence of bugs, but not their absence.


I'm building glibc-2.9 in the framework of my AppsFromScratch (a tool written in
Perl) and using it I have found "countless" bugs in build scripts of FOSS projects.

I have replaced self-built gcc-4.3.3 with self-built gcc-3.4.6, leaving all the
rest the same.

Now the build completes, but there are errors in 'make check'.

I am about to upload the files.

FWIF, here is is the list of targets my tool so far successfully builds:

So far, statistically, in a target doesn't build with my AppsFromScratch, most
likely it's a problem in the target, not in in AppsFromScratch or the way I
configure the target.
