?? How can I compile on my fast ix86 machine a working libc for my slow
i386? After installing libc, programs abort with "Illegal
Instruction".

+{AJ} Older make version (<= 3.78.90) have a bug which was hidden by a bug in
+glibc (<= 2.1.2). You need to upgrade make to a newer or fixed version. A
+patch is available via
+<http://sourceware.cygnus.com//ml/libc-alpha/2000-02/msg00067.html>.
+
+After upgrading make, you should remove the file sysd-sorted in your build
+directory. The problem is that the broken make creates a wrong order for
+one list in that file. The list has to be recreated with the new make -
+which happens if you remove the file.
+
+You might encounter this bug also in other situations where make scans
+directories. I strongly advise to upgrade your make version.
