Not without some patching first....

After tinkering,  it can be compiled, I have done it.

 There is change after gcc-2.7.0 how the '__attribute__' things are
handled ...  There are those NORETURN,  CONSTVALUE etc. that must be
moved from the current place to the end of the function prototype,
before the  colon.

 Try gcc-2.6.3, it should compile glibct -1.09 more easily....
glibc-1.10 was promised in the last summers bulletin 'really soon
now', but FSF seems to be now behaving just like M$ with very early
announcings ;-)
