compiling glibc with TLS?

[ozgun erdogan]

Trying to compile on Fedora 1 (kernel 2.4.22) with gcc 3.3.2.

Downloaded glibc 2.3.2 and linuxthreads 2.3.2 from gnu.org.

>>../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons --with-tls

(if I don't use --with-tls here, I get "libc.so.6 cannot handle TLS
data" when I try to make install.)

"make"s fine. when I try to make install, I get the following:

linuxthreads/libpthread.so: undefined reference to '_h_errno'

I'm overlooking something here. However, I couldn't find something relevant 
on the FAQ/Install pages or in Google. Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Ozgun.

PS: I was reading the announcement for glibc 2.3, and it says:

:: Even though TLS support is mentioned as one new feature for this release 
the default is not to build glibc with TLS support enabled.  This has 
several reasons, most of which are out of control of the glibc
developers.  Therefore it is necessry to *not* use the --with-tls option for 
configure. ::

I don't get this, if we aren't supposed to use --with-tls, why is it there? 
Fedora's default libc.so has tls enabled (I'm just guessing this from 
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6), and I think that's why I need to configure 
--with-tls too.
