[pocket-linux] Compiling glibc

Hi,

I was able to compile the glibc sources. However, the compiled libraries are 
not working on my P I 75 Mhz. ( I am Building it on a Athlon 1Hhz using a 
SuSE 8.2 distro)

When I try 	
$  ldd libc.so.6

I got the message
$  /usr/bin/ldd: line 1: ./libc.so.6: No such file or directory

which I find very strange. 
I do not have this message on precompiled libraries from David Hortons site

When I use these libraries for pocket linux in chapter 8 I get

> Freeing unused kernel memory: 248k freed
> /sbin/ini: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open 
> shared object file: No such file or directory
> Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

I have compiled glibc with the line
$  export CC="gcc -mcpu=i386"
$
$  ./glibc-2.3.2/configure --enable-add-ons --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu 
$  --prefix=/home/bettes/Documents/

I checked this with the way David Horton compiles using the architect scripts.
....
# Configure the package for FHS compliance and i386 processor.
export CC="gcc -mcpu=i386"
cd $BUILD_DIR
$SRC_DIR/configure \
  --enable-add-ons \
  --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu \
  --infodir=/usr/share/info \
  --libexec=/usr/lib/glibc \
  --prefix=/usr \
...

ANy idea what I am doing wrong?
