  Unfortunately, at least on my system, glibc 2.6 or 2.6.1 does not compile. 
The gcc 4.2.1 is the main compiler i use here and works like a charm (with 
the glibc 2.5 module mentioned by Zbiggy. I've tried to find patches for 
glibc 2.6.x but no success until now. gcc 4.2.1 + glibc 2.5 is a stable 
solution instead (i've rebuilded all my apps with it).
