old release question: glibc-2.2.5 + gcc-3.4.0 generate static apps that segfault at startup?

How did you sucessfully build gcc-3.4 (or -3.3, anything > 3.2) with
glibc-2.2.5?  Did you perhaps build C only (no g++)?  glibc-2.2.5 has
several occurences of __thread in its header files, which is a keyword
in newer gccs.

Building _anything_ that involves thread support with such a gcc on
glibc-2.2.5 always failed for me.

Maybe this also has to do with some subtle __thread-related problem?
