Try the method described in Andreas' Jaeger's message "Comment on glibc
2.0.93":
- glibc 2.0.93 contains some patches to make the build process
faster. A lot of people complained that it takes too long to
compile glibc and Zack finally managed to make some real
improvements[1]. Sadly this broke one special case: Building in
the source directory. We've always advocated to build glibc in an
extra build directory:
>The `best' way to build glibc is to use an extra directory, e.g.:
>tar xzf libc-970921.tar.gz
>mkdir build-glibc
>cd build-glibc
>../libc-970921/configure ...
This is how we build glibc and therefore should always work. I'd
advise everybody to use a build directory to build glibc -
independent of the version.
