The glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529 ebuild fails to configure.

Created attachment 32652 [details] config.log produced by the glibc configure script
I think the line export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS//-funit-at-a-time} -fno-unit-at-a-time" Is the culprit - it sets -fno-unit-at-a-time regardless of arch/gcc version. strip_flags() will already have removed any -funit-at-a-time from my reading of the flag-o-matic eclass. We set -fno-unit... later conditional on gcc3.4 in setup_flags() anyhow... This cruft doesn't appear in glibc-2.3.4.20040602.ebuild...
for me it was fixed after switching to the gcc34-amd64-2004.1 profile and doing "emerge --nodeps gcc"
i added a unit-at-a-time fix that checks for gcc 3.4 before adding -fno-unit-at-a-time... it looks like someone ignored my fix and added another one that breaks gcc 3.3.x. >:| well, according to http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040529.ebuild?r1=1.8&r2=1.9 it appears that iluxa broke glibc, so i'll add to CC.
i've removed this part of the ebuild and re-marked it stable on amd64 now that it builds again.
