Of course you can build glibc and have it work correctly, as you are configuring glibc --without-fp. Try building glibc --with-fp and seeing whether it works. Suffice to say, it will compile, but when you try to run it, and your program tries to do the libcall to the sqrt function it will segfault, because there is no libcall sqrt defined. As far as I can tell, sqrt and div are the only major opcodes that are needed (for ieee754 glibc --with-fp) that aren't implemented in MaverickCrunch.
