I can confirm this is an issue as well on my build machine (at least for the i686 target). Karanbir is also looking at it.
According to the forum post, it is related to the new kernel.
I will try building it on an older kernel and on RHEL. I initially built it on the previous kernel when Update 1 was released.
I can confirm that the kernel seems to be the culprit. After my last report I have now just downgraded the kernel from 2.6.9-11.ELsmp to 2.6.9-5.0.5smp, which solved the problem. I have successfully built glibc rpms, including a set built with -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs.
So there seems to be something wrong with the latest kernel.
