it seems packages are failing when built with glibc-2.8 and/or gcc-4.3.  these 
are issues in the package, not the toolchain.  previous versions were lazy 
and included API "bleeding" which packages took advantage of.  with these 
newer versions, things bleed less means those packages break.

some common examples:
 - code not including limits.h yet using defines from it
 - code using GNU-specific features but not defining _GNU_SOURCE for it
 - maybe some other stuff

please refrain from assigning to toolchain.  if you have questions, feel free 
to ask.
