2 quick questions... 

I have sort of naively stumbled on to a problem and
solution in building glibc 2.1.3 on sparc.  Buillding
a custom distro, and I was trying to build glibc 2.1.3
on an Ultra 10 in sparc32 mode, and had a problems
building it with gcc 2.95.3 and 2.95.2, because
compile failed due to parse error in locale/C-ctype.c
that seemsed sort of weird.  I believe this issue was
a syntax problem that prevented compilation on
big-endian arcitectures (look at the code, you'll see
what I mean).  I added a comma to line 377 and tried
rebuilding, with 100% success.  diff output is
attached.  Has anyone else seen this, and would
patching this file in this manner cause problems for
little-endian boxes?  

2.1.3 deals with endian issues with preprocessor
directives, from looking at the code in glibc 2.2, it
deals with the endian issues differently, so this
should be a non-issue with 2.2.  Has anyone had decent
luck using glibc running on sparc/linux?

C-ctype.c:379: parse error before `{'
C-ctype.c:382: parse error before `}'
make[2]: ***
[/lfs/usr/src/glibc-build/locale/C-ctype.o] Error 1

Thanks in advance,
Sean
