That csu stuff is a pile. I also hit it and
described it here (after finding somebody elses
suggested fix)

http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2006-06/msg00183.html

And the patch I used to workaround it, which I think
makes it shell agnostic, is posted here:

http://www.flex.com/~dmk/glibc-2.3.2-allow-solaris.patch

The underlying problem is the use of echo rather than
printf in the shell script.

I was building with glibc-2.3.2
