Is this for the configure file in the glibc source root?  Which version
of glibc is this for?  At what point did you apply this patch, before
the build starts, or do you need to have it stop so you can apply it
manually?

Anyway, I thought I was able to solve the problem a different way.
I had also tried to use a current kernel, but set the support kernel
version option to 2.6.9 (my target system).  It would die with the error
in this link (but build OK when I didn't set the kernel version):

The patch is supposed to work for glibc 2_8, but I have only tested it
for glibc 2.7 and 2_9.  Basically it's a one line fix to add an include
for tls.h to lowlevellock.h.  It builds without errors, but when I try
to run an application built with it, I get "Hello World!" followed by
an invalid instruction error.  It's progress if one considers that at
least I get some output whereas I didn't before.  Again, I'm back to
the old "just because it builds without errors doesn't mean it ain't
broke".
