Well. Adding --build=i486-pc-linux-gnu did not work for me - because
I don't have gcc built for 486. Configure was looking for
i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc and failing.

I was lucky, I have gcc compiled for 386, so I said so to configure.

Now imagine that one only has gcc compiled for 686. Are you saying that
it is impossible to build 486-clean glibc on a system wuth gcc compiled
for 686? That's silly...

I thought "--target=foo" means "build this so that it will be
runnable on foo". Am I mistaken? What does target=foo means then?
