Oh, and you must also use a recent binutils version
(probably best the one we recommend on devWorks),
or else you'll run into weird problems when building
glibc as well ...

Ulrich,

Ok, that's pretty clear.  :)  Figures I would spend untold hours of CPU time
trying to do something unsupported.  :(

Thanks for the guidance.

This is most definitely *not* supported, for a variety
of reasons.

If you want to build glibc with gcc 3.x, you *must* use
glibc-2.2.5 (plus our latest developerWorks patches) or
later.

(Note that this is not s390-specific, it won't work
on other platforms either.  In fact, those gcc/glibc
incompatibilities were one of the major reasons why
distributions took so long to pick up gcc 3.x ...)

Ulrich
