I think you misunderstand.  When I said above about building glibc for a
cross compiling environment, I'm talking about building an hppa-linux
glibc to be installed on an i686-linux system for use by the cross tools.
If binutils and gcc are built with --build=i686-linux --host=i686-linux
--target=hppa-linux --prefix=/usr, then it's correct to build glibc with
--build=i686-linux --host=hppa-linux --prefix=/usr/hppa-linux because then
"make install" will put glibc in the correct place for the cross tools.

Building glibc with --prefix=/usr then "make install_root=/usr/hppa-linux"
doesn't put glibc in directories searched by the cross tools.
