Use of library glibc 2.4 for ARM

Use of library glibc 2.4 for ARM

[Joaquim Duran]

Dear all,

Few days ago, a commit had been done to allow the compilation of glibc 
3.4 for arm processors. However, the lines in .bb file that doesn't 
allow its compilation in ARM processors are included in the file. The 
lines are included bellow:

#add the hosts that are confirmed to be working to COMPATIBLE_HOSTi
COMPATIBLE_HOST = '(i.86.*-linux|sh.*-linux)'
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE_arm = "-1"

These lines could be updated or the library has still some issues to be 
compiled in an ARM processor?

Thanks in advance.

I committed the change  but haven't have a chance to test it yet. Feel
free to enable, test and report back :)

I added it at the time as I had the patch handy and didn't want to
forget about it. It couldn't make the situation worse and only affects
arm builds.
