The latest few releases of the Linux Binutils (2.16.91.0.4 - .7
at the time of this writing) aren't able to assemble code for Glibc.
This is a copy-and-paste of the error message generated.

For the time being, we will be reverting back to 2.16.91.0.3.

Build environment:
SPARC32
GCC == 3.4.5
Glibc == 2.3.6
Linux kernel headers == 2.4.33pre1
