[issues] Eglibc issue on PPC?

[Jim Gifford <maillist@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Been looking at this issue for a few weeks, and everyone has pointed this out to be a glibc/eglibc issue. Want your take on this. Using the latest GCC 4.4.0. Building from a x86_64 to powerpc G3.

The build method used is the cross-lfs dev book, temporary system gcc.
http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/ppc/temp-system/gcc.html
our eglibc instructions are at
http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/ppc/cross-tools/eglibc.html

This build method works on x86 and x86_64, but Sparc and Powerpc get the same error message below.
