I also used gcc-3.4 to compile glibc with the cvs-patch. I came across
a few issues with the current Debian glibc on ppc64, notably some
problems with 'nptl' and with the gcc 'unit-at-a-time' feature.
In the end I gave up to find a number of smaller patches for the
issues and decided to directly upgrade to the cvs version. This is
certainly not the only possible way, but at the moment it seemed to be
the easiest way for me. Of course I agree that if there is a smaller
patch which works, we should try to merge that one first.
