No, I don't get that. It could be because I've been using eglibc for a
while. It could also be an architecture thing; I'm using x86_64, are
you using i686? When I configure glibc-2.14 I get:
checking cpuid.h usability... yes
checking cpuid.h presence... yes
checking for cpuid.h... yes
However, when I try to compile it the build fails like so:

Apparently this is a bug in binutils' ld that is fixed in
binutils-2.21.51.
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12366
I have tested binutils-2.21.51 and glibc-2.14 compiles fine with it.
Current firefox from mercurial also compiles with binutils-2.21.51.
With binutils-2.21 current firefox fails to build in a similar way to
glibc-2.14. I have built my current system with binutils-2.21.51 it
seems to work fine and solves those 2 compile failures for me.
