Bug#578816: libc6 doesn't build with binutils 2.20

[Philip Ashmore <contact@philipashmore.com>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-18lenny2
Severity: normal

I downloaded glibc-2.7 using
   apt-get source libc6
I then did
   cd glibc-2.7
   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
The build failed as configure.in doesn't accept binutils 2.20,
only 2.1[3-9]*
I installed gcc-4.4.2-9, but the build used gcc-4.3.2, in case
that helps.
