   I'm having a problem building glibc-2.0.1 on a sparc-sun-solaris2.4
   system with i960-*-coff as the host. It chunks along for a good time and 
   then I get an error. As I'm new to the wolrd of GNU tools, I'm stumped at 
   how to fix this. Here's the error:

   make[1]: Nothing to be done for `subdir_lib'.
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/riecherg/tmp/glibc-2.0.1/stdio-common'
   make  -C stdio subdir_lib
   make[1]: Entering directory `/home/riecherg/tmp/glibc-2.0.1/stdio'

   make[1]: *** [vdprintf.o] Error 1
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/riecherg/tmp/glibc-2.0.1/stdio'

   Any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it?

The email address for problems with glibc is bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu
(this is in the FAQ), so if you don't get any help from crossgcc, try there.
