* Glibc 2.7.

* Hack to remove the dependency on Perl.

* Hack to work around this bug:

    http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi

  I.e. when gcc is compiled with --with-arch=i686, then the
  preprocessor symbol `__i686' will be defined to `1'.  This causes
  the symbol __i686.get_pc_thunk.dx to be mangled.  The error message
  for reference:

../sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_frexp.S: Assembler messages:
../sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_frexp.S:66: Error: invalid identifier for ".ifdef"
../sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_frexp.S:66: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `1'
...
../sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_frexp.S:66: Error: ".endif" without ".if"
../sysdeps/i386/fpu/s_frexp.S:66: Error: junk `.get_pc_thunk.dx' after expression

  Now Glibc builds again with GCC 4.x.
