yann@1: The error
yann@1: 
yann@1: make[2]: *** [.../gcc-3.3.3-glibc-2.1.3/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Algiers] Segmentation fault
yann@1: make[2]: Leaving directory `.../gcc-3.3.3-glibc-2.1.3/glibc-2.1.3/timezone'
yann@1: make[1]: *** [timezone/subdir_install] Error 2
yann@1: 
yann@1: is caused by glibc trying to run something it just compiled.
yann@1: A crude workaround for this was posted at
yann@1: http://lists.scratchbox.org/pipermail/scratchbox-users/2004-February/000018.html
yann@1: but the following patch lets you optionally override these programs at
yann@1: make time by setting Make variables 
yann@1:   localedef_FOR_BUILD rpcgen_FOR_BUILD zic_FOR_BUILD
yann@1: and maybe a few others to point to versions of those programs
yann@1: that can run on the build machine.
yann@1: Thanks to http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=9012160052.AA23106%40kaos.ksr.com
yann@1: for pointing out the idiom for inline $(ifdef ...) in GNU Make.

yann@1: [rediffed for glibc-2.3.2]
yann@1: [typos corrected - those are make variables, not environment variables,
yann@1:  and it's $(built-program-override-name), not $(build-program-override-name)]
