I just did [1] a complete compilation of the current glibc 2.1 sources
(which has the tzset patch and some other patches in it [2]). I was
surprised [3] to get not a single failure during `make check'.
So, I'm clueless where your problems is. If you know what's wrong,
please tell me. It might be a problem of some i686 specific code that
you're running[4]. I'm running Linux 2.1.113 on i486 with 48MB.

Footnotes:
[1] In general I'm using egcs snapshots.
[2] Including some linuxthreads patches which are not tested very well.
[3] That's the same results as I get from egcs but it remember that
gcc was worse at some time.
[4] glibc 2.0.95 optimizes for i686 - and perhaps gcc/egcs has also
some special treatment.
