FW: errors while building glibc-2.7 --> solved

[Oussama Chammam <ou_cha at hotmail dot com>]

Hello Vinu!
I don't know how to thank you! You solved my problem, and ended a more than a week long building of glibc source... :)

The configuration didn't like the --march=  option, it said:

configure: error: unrecognized option: --march=opteron
Try `../glibc-2.7/configure --help' for more information.

so I skipped it and it worked fine.

thank you, from Sweden to India!
