[Bug libc/137] New: glibc cross compilation failure

[thomas dot koeller at baslerweb dot com]

When cross-compiling glibc, configure attempts to determine the size of a long 
double variable (ac_cv_sizeof_long_double) by running a test program. Since 
this program is compiled using the cross compiler it will not run on the build 
system, causing configure to abort. 
 
As a workaround, i set ac_cv_sizeof_long_double=8 in the environment before 
invoking configure. Not quite sure if this value is correct, however.
