You just love it when you have a spare system that you might be able to use to build glibc and it just dies? Nice MP2600+, dual CPU and everything. splat. Dead. No reaction from ping, nothing. It sucks.

ok, got the amd64 to build, using a fairly ok-ish patch. Problem with 32 bit libc6 and amd64 seems to be related to the ds1 repackaging (and resyncing with upstream CVS). The joy of trying to wade through a 89k line patch trying to pinpoint what the problem is.
