This is definitely a problem. I'm trying to build glibc for Xtensa (using version 2.2.5, but I think the relevant code is the same in the latest version). The sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/init-first.c file contains the following:

Could you please double-check that you're using a version of the compiler with this actual patch in it?

Unless you're trying to build glibc with intermodule analysis, you should not be seeing the behaviour you're seeing.
