Hmm, was this really necessary? Surely marking it broken for arm
would have been enough for now?

I'm sure I'm not the only one running glibc 2.4 on lots of non-arm
devices and now have to either add glibc 2.4 back in to OE locally
and/or get all my devices upgraded (which will happen, once I've
finished testing with glibc 2.5, no other glibc's build here except
2.4 and 2.5.)

And I'm sure there'll be a lot of people wondering why OE is suddenly
building an older version of glibc.

Koen: next time *check* does something use what you plan to remove. 
Especially with such *important* packages like toolchain/libc ones.

Should be enough.

I reverted koen's changeset and added DEFAULT_PREFERENCE_arm = "-1" so ARM 
builds will skip it.

Right, sorry about that.

Actually, no. Given the breadth and seriousness of the breakage we should start
whitelisting architectures (or may be even machines).

That's untrue as well. I added a compatible_host mask to make it only build for x86 (hi
mickey!) and shX (hi Jamie!)
