2.0.33 scripts/mkdep crashes with glibc2

Hi all...

I'm experiencing the above. I suppose it is not a problem with mkdep,
but I still would like to know if other people had similar
experiences... Most interesting:

gcc -o mkdep mkdep.c

works (should not), while

gcc -ggdb -o mkdep mkdep.c

does not work. In the first case the program crashes with SIGSEGV
(obvious why), in the latter case no executable is built.

gcc -ggdb -o mkdep mkdep.c -lc

works fine, but still segfaults. gdb says:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
Reading symbols from /lib/libc.so.6...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.2...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.1...done.
#0 0x4001fe36 in set_progname()

The system has glibc2 installed over libc5 (I still need libc5, as I
were not able to rebuild gcc yet). libc5 is taken out of the Debian
dist, glibc2 is self-compiled out of the sources I found at ftp.leo.org,
which should carry the original sources. System is i486-pc-linux-gnu.

Is this a glibc2 problem, a mkdep problem, no problem at all, my fault,
...?
