i build the toolchain with -O

after applying your patch pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock.c compiles.

the build now stops with another error in nptl:

[ALL  ]    make[3]: *** No rule to make target
`/data/prog/embedded/toolchains/ct-ng-build/targets/i386-unknown-linux-gnu/build/build-libc/nptl/pthread_spin_trylock.o',
needed by `lib-noranlib'.  Stop.

thanks a lot for your help!
