Configuration problem: minor version number?

[David Duke]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile gcc-3.0.4 on an i686 machine running linux (Redhat 
7.2).  When I run the configure script, I get the following:

Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/masdad/gcc using "mt-frag"
Cannot find the GNU C library minor version number.

I looked in the archives of the gcc / gcc-help mailing lists, and indeed 
there was some discussion [going back to 2000!] on a problem with the 
config-in script causing this.  According to my features.h file, my libc 
version is 2.2; this however this does not seem to be picked up by the 
script.  Does anyone know how to correct this, or how to force a correct 
configuration?

Please reply (or at least Cc) to sender.

thanks,
David
