Hey Chetan,
I tried compiling again and am getting the f= ollowing probs :
binutils 2.10.1 configured and installed corr= ectly and smoothly
gcc 2.95.3 configured and installed correct= ly
The following are the dependencies of glibc-2.2.3 as specif= ied its INSTALL directory :
----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
binutils

there are some nifty conf bugs when u try to work with an old tool chain. You would do better hunting for solutions on google / dev-lists of glibc
glibc is notorious in not getting compiled. more so than gcc itself. Thats why the tons of patches from redhat et al.
