ct-ng 1.16.0: setting glibc 2.8 cause build to fail

[Zvi Vered]

Dear Members,

The cause to the problem is the -L argument in the link phase (with Intel 
Compiler)
I must give a path to glibc libraries contained in the gcc created with 
crosstool-ng.
The path was wrong and intel compiler used the libraries supplied with 
default gcc in the host (Red hat 5.3, gcc 4.1.2, glibc 2.5)

Thanks,
Zvika

crosstool-NG does not support the Intel Compiler (whatever that may be
(yes, I know what it is)). The only compiler supported by crosstool-NG
is gcc.

No, you can use /old/ kernel headers to build the toolchain, and run a
newer kernel on the target.

Of course, you loose whatever new features that were exposed to userland
since the /old/ kernel was released, but as you use an old glibc, those
features would anyway not be available to you.
