Thanks, that works fine. Where should I have discovered that this is what I 
needed to do? As far as I could tell from INSTALL, I should have been able 
to use the simple line that I used. Or is this a problem with building on 
Ubuntu?

That doesn't work. Why not? I see it says "Checking for -fstack-protector" 
while configuring. Is it because the Ubuntu compiler switches this on by 
default and the libc configure doesn't know to turn it off?
