This is bug #674.

For you, the easiest way to build a working glibc is probably
to tell configure what your machine is, i.e., add

--build=pentium3-pc-linux-gnu

to your configure line. This will cause linuxthreads to use floating
stacks and TLS, and this problem should go away. (At least, it does
for me when I do this. See the comments to this bug for my flailing
and incompetent attempts to work out what's going on.)

(On Pentiums and below, configuring --without-__thread is the best
`solution' I've found. Should this be wired into configure as a
default, I wonder?)
