Hello, possibly you just need to choose your cpu in "lunar optimize".

I use on my system the -Os gcc optimization setting. I know some other ppl
use it too, becauze I get a good balance between size and speed of the
code. The new glibc module won't compile with this setting. There is a
small modif in the BUILD file which can be done in order to compile glibc.
It was proposed at the testing time too. You can try it too. Just replace
in the BUILD file the line:

  export CC=gcc

with the lines:

  # Don't allow too much damage
  unset CFLAGS CXXFLAGS CPPFLAGS LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  # glibc wants -march=i486 greater or less is NOT compiling.
  export CC="gcc -march=i486"
  export CXX="g++ -march=i486"

No, I'm not going to go back to the pre-2.3.x BUILD script. If it fails for
you florin its most likely a different issue. If you still think its that
one particular flag please point me to your reference.

You can skip the 

 # Don't allow too much damage
  unset CFLAGS CXXFLAGS CPPFLAGS LD_LIBRARY_PATH

lines. On my systen it compiles without them.

Hi..All.
Thank you very much for your good advice.
Now I can compile it.
Best regards

I also failed to build glibc-2.7 with "-Os"
but was able to build it with "-O2".
I don't know why though...

Please tell me whether this bug has been resolved or not. Its clearly the
same issue a couple of users have encountered during the upgrade process.
Set your CPU optimizations to the right level and be done.
