a.out built in 1) and 2) environments works in these but fails on my glibc 
2.12 env.

1)
gcc-4.4.3-5.x86_64
glibc-2.11.1-5.x86_64
binutils-2.20.51.0.7-1.x86_64

2)
gcc-3.3.6-9.amd64
glibc64-2.3.6-18.amd64
binutils-2.19.51.0.14-1.amd64

The only working solution was building on

gcc-3.3.6-9.i686
glibc-2.3.6-18.i686
binutils-2.19.51.0.14-1.i686

and running on glibc 2.12 i686.
