bug#1591: Failed to compile emacs from CVS with the new glibc-2.9-3.i686

[Håvard Rue]

My build of emacs23 wouldn't start (segfault)  the other day, and I
tried to compile it again from the source. It fail to compile 

`/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
make[3]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And if I run it in the debugger, I get

localhost[src]$ gdb ./temacs

seems like a new glibc has just recently been installed

localhost[~]$ rpm -qf /lib/ld-2.9.so 
glibc-2.9-3.i686


I'm running Fedora 10. 

Bests,
