glibc-2.2.3 make check failure on tst-aio3.c

[Nix <nix at esperi dot demon dot co dot uk>]

Building glibc-2.2.3 with the nls patch, with gcc-2.95.3, on an
i586-pc-linux-gnu box running kernel 2.2.19, I get this error at `make
check' time:

| Timed out: killed the child process
`----

Setting TIMEOUT to a higher value yields

: Didn't expect signal from child: got `File size limit exceeded'

instead; my filesize limit is two million blocks, effectively unlimited.

Nobody else seems to have reported this; the closest I can see is a
message on bug-glibc from March, but that was built with gcc-3.0 and the
symptoms were slightly different.

This looks like a regression to me. If it *is* caused by
--enable-omitfp, then I shall find out why; glibc-2.2.2 is building now,
as is 2.2.3 without --enable-omitfp, and I shall crush this little bug
--- assuming, of course, that nobody else has done so already.
