Yes I saw the same thing.

Yeah it looks like this segment,

348 ifeq ($(release),stable)
349 default_cflags := -g -O2
350 else
351 default_cflags := -g -O
352 endif

Up till this merge we were still running bits from September 25th which didn't 
have a "stable" number. So someone needs to make our glibc -O2 clean.

OK, I switched to -O and built a new xc(x86->hppa). I was able to build/boot a 
kernel, and build/run a hello world program. The new xc is at,

ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/LinuxX86/xc-20010117.tar.gz

Please let me know if you have any problems with it.

Thanks,
