Yep, I just ignored it for the moment.  The morally-equivalent change
will have to be made to that file to eliminate testandset, but it's
irrelevant to getting glibc working.

You need to upgrade to latest CVS -- Richard found & fixed that problem.

Yes, when we tried a few weeks ago, glibc 2.2.3-9 would no longer build
with the gcc in the archive.  So we need gcc to be updated before we
can hope to build 2.2.4-1.
