LinuxQuestions.org - Installation problems for glibc

Hi,
I am trying to install glibc-2.3.6 on my Redhat Linux 9 (kernel version 2.4.20-8). I have already installed binutilities-2.16.1 and gcc-4.0.2.
The INSTALL file for glibc states that several hours may be required for the complete installation. It also warns about the system seeming to be hanged, but I don't see any progress in the compilation. Even the disk activity LED on the cabinet does not show any progress.
The system seems to hang only at a specific compilation which I have specified below. My machine is a P4 with 128MB RAM.

1) The configure that I gave:

Code:

[root@wks32 root]# ../glibc-2.3.6/configure --prefix=/usr/src/gnu/glibc-2.3.6-build -exec-prefix=/usr/src/gnu/glibc-2.3.6-build --enable-add-ons --with-binutils=/usr/src/gnu/binutils-2.16.1-build --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=i686c/gnu/binutils-2.15-build --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux

2) Part of the make that is on screen when the system seems to hang:

Code:

make  -C sunrpc others

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.3.6/sunrpc'

Is this normal? How much time maybe required for the complete installation? Also, if I want to omit compilation for a certain architecture is it possible to do so?
Thanks in advance.
