If something is invoking exec, perhaps it means "exec -c". That said,
"make" accepts a "-C" option which might be buggering something up.

Well, i found this patch for scripts/cpp:

And things got a bit further on the next attempt, until it bombed here:

You're trying to build glibc without cpp installed?  Well that won't work.

Actually, cpp was installed, but oddly, wasn't in root's $PATH. Once i fixed that, the build completed successfully, and glibc installed without incident.
