I'm absolutly sure that on my system it does run and it *has* to
(as far as I understand it): my host/build system uses the old
linux libc (libc-5) and the target system will use gnulibc2. So
the _G_config.h from the host system is out-dated and _G_config.h
has to be generated from the gnulibc2 header files (configure
--with-headers=gnulibc2-headers-directory).
