Glibc broken for ia64

Current CVS is broken on ia64.  It is crashing after __errno_location has
handed out a bogus pointer, which is due to the thread register not
properly initialized.  I tried with the patch below, but then
linuxthreads does not work at all.  I also tried --without-__thread, but
that did not help.

Andreas.
