Compile error with glibc 2.2.4

[Peter Mee]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if someone could point me in the direction of why glibc (2.2.4
with linuxthreads 2.2.4) may not be compiling on my linux machine.  I have a
2.2.12 kernel (RedHat 6.1 originally) with gcc 2.95.2.1, make 3.79, binutils
2.11.2, autoconf 2.52 and automake 1.5 (not sure if these last two are
relevant).

I configured with (one line):

export CFLAGS=-mcpu=i386;
../configure --prefix=/usr/local/glibc-2.2.4 --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads
i386-pc-linux-gnu --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.2.12/include --enable-shar
ed=yes

All goes well until spinlock.c is attempted:

gcc spinlock.c -c -Wall -Winline -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wwrite-strings -mcpu=i386  -I../include -I.  -I..
-I../libio  -I../sysdeps/i386/elf -I../linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/

make[1]: *** [spinlock.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pmee/Downloads/glibc-2.2.4/linuxthreads'
make: *** [linuxthreads/others] Error 2

The 'offending' line is:

      __asm __volatile ("" : "=m" (lock->__status) : "0" (lock->__status));

Any ideas?

Cheers,
