Only guessing, of course, but I guess you have glibc-2.2.x (maybe only
glibc-2.2.3 is affected) and a gcc <2.95.3

If that is the case, this may be the reason:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2001-03/msg00048.html

and this one way to fix it:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-03/msg01187.html

I haven't actually tried the patch, by the time I got glibc-2.2.3,
gcc-2.95.3 was out, and I don't this problem with it.

The patch file for gcc-2.95.3 is only 300k or so, and it is not too
awfully onerous to patch and build it from the gcc-2.95.2 source.  Or
maybe somebody has made a ready-compiled one by now.  Check the distros.
