yikes !  we dont want to have any distro-specific stuff in uClibc in any of 
the source files that go into the library ... especially not any transient 
ones ...

i guess you're building uClibc on ia64 and by using `gcc` rather than a 
dedicated cross-compiler ... tbh, i think your best course of action is to 
grab linux-2.6.20 and run `make headers_install` yourself and then point the 
uClibc build system at that
