Yes, but you were crosscompiling.  `make install' is very different
with a crossbuild.

THe program which is being run is
/home/willy/glibc/2.2.4-1/glibc-2.2.4/hppa-linux/obj/timezone/zic; glibc
is making sure it's run with the new ld.so and all the new versions of
the libs.

Have you actually tried installing glibc 2.2.4-1 on a live system and
running programs with it?

It's more likely that one of the other debian patches conflicts with
what we're doing.  The debian/rules file will apply the patches in the
debian/patches directory in the order given by debian/patches/0list.
I seem to remember a couple of other diffs that need to get applied...

That's changing all the testandset to trylock.
