ct-ng 1.16.0: setting glibc 2.8 cause build to fail

[Zvi Vered <veredz72 at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

I'm using version 1.16.0 to build a toolchain fo i686-nptl-linux-gnu.

I ran:
ct-ng i686-nptl-linux-gnu
Then, with menuconfig I set glibc to 2.8 (instead of 2.9)

The build fails with the following messages:

What is the reason for this failure ?

Attached the .config I'm using.

My host is: Centos 5.8

I need 2.8 because Intel Compiler does not support 2.9

Thanks,
Zvika
