Errors cross-compiling gdbserver with glibc-2.34

Hi,

I'm looking at updating crosstool-ng to add glibc-2.34. I can generate a 
toolchain fine but when I try to build gdbserver (which can be enabled 
as part of the crosstool-ng build) I get some odd gnulib build errors.

https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/pull/1570#issuecomment-893784531

I can disable building gdbserver as part of crosstool-ng and 
successfully generate a toolchain. But when I use that toolchain to 
manually build gdbserver I get the same error (included below as it has 
a bit more useful output than on the link above).

Everything works fine with the same configuration under glibc-2.33.

Any clues as to what might be going on? I'm kind of thinking there must 
be some difference in include paths between glibc-2.33 and glibc-2.34.

Thanks,
Chris
