What kernel version are you running?

If you configure glibc with --enable-kernel=2.6.17, it assumes that
the f*at() system calls are available on your platform, which is true
for 2.6.17 on x86 but not for 2.6.17 on ARM.  This might be what you
are running into.

(If you configure with --enable-kernel=something_old, say 2.6.9, it
won't enable the EABI bits.  --enable-kernel=2.6.16 works OK for me.)

(It's been a while since I looked at this, so my memory might be
incorrect.)
