getting linker errors when installing glibc

Trying to compile on Fedora 1 (kernel 2.4.22) with gcc 3.3.2.

Downloaded glibc 2.3.2 and linuxthreads 2.3.2 from gnu.org.
[color=blue][color=green]
>> ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons --with-tls[/color][/color]

(if I don't use --with-tls here, I get "libc.so.6 cannot handle TLS
data" when I try to make install.)

"make"s fine. when I try to make install, I get the following:

linuxthreads/libpthread.so: undefined reference to '_h_errno'

I'm overlooking something here. However, I couldn't find something
relevant on the FAQ/Install pages or in Google. Any help would be
appreciated,

Thanks.

I don't know what you're doing but I'd try the install with the non-TLS
version to see if that works. Could be you're using the wrong library
version containing " lbpthread.so" or it's in the wrong path.

with the non-TLS version, I get "libc.so.6 cannot handle TLS data"
when I try to make install. I was reading the announcement for glibc
2.3, and it says:

:: Even though TLS support is mentioned as one new feature for this
release
the default is not to build glibc with TLS support enabled. This has
several reasons, most of which are out of control of the glibc
developers. Therefore it is necessry to *not* use the --with-tls
option
for configure. ::

I don't get this, if we aren't supposed to use --with-tls, why is it
there? Fedora's default libc.so has tls enabled (I'm just guessing
this from libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6), and I think that's why I
need to configure --with-tls too. Any ideas?
