That is one of the many problems with glibc 2 and egcs. The newer
glibc 2.1 breaks egcs due to the changes to libio in glibc 2.1.
I'd like to see glibc 2.1 install those libio private header files
and libio in egcs uses them if they are available. We may be
able to support libc 5, glibc 2.0 and glibc 2.1 in egcs.
