Glibc Compilation Error

I'm compiling glibc-2.12.1 in Ubuntu 10.10 (32 bit in VirtualBox). Steps followed:

  1. configure --prefix=/usr --disable-asm
  2. make

[I'm building it from a new directory]

I'm getting the following errors on running make:

I tried using --disable-asm (in configure --prefix=/usr --disable-asm) but it still gives the same error.

Searching on Google revealed that this problem has been present for a long time [ Reference: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.glibc.user/758 ].

What is causing this error and how to solve it?

The problem is caused by your GCC defining __i686. You can confirm that in fact it does that with this command:

gcc -dD -E -xc /dev/null | grep __i686

If this command produces output, then that's the problem. To fix it, use:

configure --prefix=/usr CC='gcc -U__i686'

or build a newer version of glibc.
