You need a newer copy of glibc.  The one you have is too old to work 
with gcc 3.x.

This is a general linux cross compiler problem, not an IA-64 problem. 
We have instructions on how to build a cross compiler to an embedded 
target that uses newlib, but we have no documented process for building 
a cross compiler to a linux target that uses glibc if you don't already 
have access to such a system.  I don't know how to do this offhand.  I 
believe it is considerably more complicated than an embedded cross.  You 
could ask for general help on doing gcc/glibc cross builds for linux, 
and avoid mentioning IA-64 since that might confuse people who don't do 
IA-64 work.
