I have found some info in description of another type of glibc bug - maybe the problem is in the value CHOST is set to. I will try to set CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
first of all /bin/sh should always point to your used shell # ls -la /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 5 21:57 /bin/sh -> bash k6 is CHOST="

Thank you. I have corrected also the CFLAGS. bash was correct. I'll get the results in a few hours.
The suggested solution helped for one of my machines - Pentium MMX (thanks). The AMD machine couldn't compile again without error. I would appreciate any suggestion.

Miroslav, is this still a problem with the latest stable glibc?
I have reinstalled some of the machines from installation made on Pentium4. I don't know wheather the problem persists. I will close this bug as I am not interested in this bug anymore. I'll set it to INVALID as it seems that the problem was in wrong configuration.
