MENU_PKG_GLIBC
  Even more options for glibc.

MENU_PKG_GLIBC
  Several different versions of the glibc library may be built.
  Among the shared and static version a special profiling version
  is available. Enabling it will result in a library libc_p.a
  suitable to profile glibc calls. It will also result in a longer
  built-time for glibc. Most people don't need this library.

ROCKCFG_PKG_GLIBC22_USEIT
  Please check here if you want to use the old glibc Version 2.2.

ROCKCFG_PKG_GLIBC_ENABLE_PROFILE
  If enabled, glibc libraries will be built with profiling support.

ROCKCFG_PKG_GLIBC_BRANCH
  Choose the glibc branch to use, either 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4.

ROCKCFG_PKG_GLIBC23_LINUXTHREADS
  Use old-style linuxthreads instead of NPTL (Native POSIX Threads for Linux).

  NPTL does not work on plain i386. Furthermore glibc libraries supporting
  NPTL are incompatible with those supporting linuxthreads.
  You need to be running a 2.6 Linux kernel to build a glibc supporting NPTL.
