Maybe try glibc 2.13, wrt IA-64?

Would it also be useful to be able to get glibc (and glibc-ports) from
git as well as from tarballs? I noticed that some versions of glibc
did not release tarballs for libc, and ports.

It's also easy to export git to a tarball:

git archive --format=tar --prefix=glibc-<version>/
{revision|branch+revision|HEAD} | bzip2 > glibc-<version>.tar.bz2

I'll give both glibc and eglibc a shot tonight on
armeb-xscale-linux-gnueabi, powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe, and
x86-nptl-linux-gnu tonight.

I noticed that with x86_64-nptl-linux-gnu, gdb-7.2 is not building...
I'll send an email about this later, when I test the above stuff.
