Indeed! You should to:

  export AUTOCONF=no

before building libc.  I see --without-cvs too,
(which you'd think would be a default for the 99.9..%
of the world that doesn't want that behavior!)

Why did I send this to libc-ports instead of libc-alpha?
I can't even see straight any  more. That's okay, vacation
on Monday.
