ARM build problem

I am trying to build glibc 2.3.6 (yes, it's old, but it is the last one 
with linuxthreads supporting ARM, as linuxthreads 2.5 does not and, as 
far as I heard, nptl does not either), and I am running into a tricky 
build problem.

The problem is that building crti.S fails. gcc is 4.4.3 
and binutils is 2.20 (running on Ubuntu 9.10 and configured with 
target=arm-linux).

As far as I 
understood, initfini.c is first turned into initfini.s, then some awk 
magic takes parts of it and copies them to crti.S. So I tried to see 
what parts were missing in crti.S.

The 
result, shown above, says that crti.S is initfini.s without sections 
TESTS, _init_EPILOG and _fini_EPILOG. The problem is: _init_PROLOG, 
present in both, tries to access .L58. But .L58 is defined in 
_init_EPILOG, which is one of the parts missing in crti.S.

What is the 
problem here? And, in general, how can I build glibc for ARM?

Regards,

Fabrizio
