That is by design ... the i686 glibc will not work with the c3 ... the i686 kernel will.
Interesting. Hmmm.
You need to use the i386 glibc. As written, the latest RH glibc SRPM will not build for --target i486 or --target i586 ...
But I've seen several packages where building for --target i386 still results in an --march=i486. In fact, that's probably why they clearly still say ".i386.rpm" despite requiring i486 ISA.
I am close to making it build properly for --target i586, but since the .i386 glibc works well on i586 and it should build with that target unmodified in the future, that is the way we will proceed.

yes, the i686 kernel rpm of course did work.
Oddly, when I built my own kernel (i needed jfs support), i686 didn't work, the machine rebooted pretty much immediately upon loading the kernel. Built from the source tree in the kernel-source rpm (whatever it's called nowadays), set the hardware option in the kernel config but not mucking with the compiler environment at all.
I rebuilt for i386 and it works fine.
thanks again for all your efforts.
