I must added this "-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" to the CFLAGS, because
the gcc 4.4.3 brokes with an inline error during make. With this option
the make compiles the glibc completly. I need an older glibc for the hostd
process of the VMware Server because with the newest glibc the process
breaks down on some operations. The bug is found also on Centos 5.4
and Redhat, but at this time I don't found a solution for Gentoo. Now
I had compiled my older glib and will try to add them to the VMware
scripts in the next days

Thanks
