GLIBC fails to compile!

When attempting to compile (by running 'make') glibc 2.4 the following error occurs.

Code:

CPP='gcc -E -x c-header'  /root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/math:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/elf:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/dlfcn:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/nss:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/nis:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/rt:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/resolv:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/crypt:/root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/nptl /root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/sunrpc/rpcgen -Y ../scripts -c rpcsvc/bootparam_prot.x -o /root/temp_install/glibc-2.4/build/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.T

I'm using a --prefix=/usr.

My system is:

Linux x86_18 2.4.33.3 #1 Fri Sep 1 01:48:52 CDT 2006 i686 pentium4 i386 GNU/Linux
Currently with glibc 2.3.6.
Slackware 11.0

When attempting to compile glibc 2.7 instead, the following happens:

Code:

init.c: In function `__pthread_initialize_minimal_internal':

init.c:259: error: `__NR_set_tid_address' undeclared (first use in this function)

init.c:259: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/temp_install/glibc-2.7'

make: *** [all] Error 2

glibc-2.5:

Code:

pthread_mutex_timedlock.c:276: error: `__NR_clock_gettime' undeclared (first use in this function)

You're building against the 2.4 kernel, which didn't use nptl. You might look at glibc 2.5 and linuxthreads.
