Well, myself (and others) have successfully built on i586 gnulibc1.
So I'm not sure what your problem is.

Try running this command by hand, but add "-save-temps" to the command
line.  That will create crtstuff.i

Then

gdb cc1
r -O2 -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-funtions -fno-exceptions -fno-omit-frame-pointer  crtstuff.i

And see what's happening.

It's not clear if this is happening in stage1 or in a later stage of
compilation.  If it is happening in stage1, it is possible that whatever
compiler you're using to build egcs-1.1 has mis-compiled egcs-1.1.
