Thanks for the input.  I am stuck with glibc-2.3.2, unfortunately (I'm 
building to a target device that I don't have control over).  I already 
modified the configure file in the glibc folder, after unpacking, to:

      '') ac_prog_version="v. ?.??, bad"; ac_verc_fail=yes;;
      3.[2-9]*)
         ac_prog_version="$ac_prog_version, ok"; ac_verc_fail=no;;
+    4.*)
+       ac_prog_version="$ac_prog_version, ok"; ac_verc_fail=no;;
      *) ac_prog_version="$ac_prog_version, bad"; ac_verc_fail=yes;;


Everything compiled now, with no problems!  (Woot, woot.)

(Now I just need to figure out why the cross-compiler pads everything I 
compile with 60k of dead air.)
