It's a bug in RH 9: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90301
RedHat has a fix for the problem but hasn't yet released an update
of their glibc RPM.

You have two options to work-around this bug:

* Use our gcc-2.95 build
* Use the gcc-3.2 build with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 (this will disable
  the use of NPTL)

Or bug RedHat until they release a fixed glibc RPM.

There aren't many differences between Sun's 1.4.1_03 and our 1.4.1_01.
A Blackdown 1.4.2 for x86, AMD64, and probably SPARC will be available
in a few days.
