Ben,
I've been hitting this problem also. I've been working is a cross
compiling enviroment. I found an posting from Marcus Sundberg that
outlined the problems and how to fix them. I have included that post
at the bottom of this.
I got a patch from Wolfgang Denk. He also has a site that talks about
what needs to be done. http://www.denx.de/solutions-en.html
The patch is here:

I applied that patch from the glibc/sysdeps/powerpc directory. Then
I ran the following script. I tried to run the one Marcus had in his
email, but it is bash specific and I am running under IRIX.
#!/bin/ksh
echo "mv bits/fenv.h bits/mathdef.h bits/mathinline.h fpu/bits"
mv bits/fenv.h bits/mathdef.h bits/mathinline.h fpu/bits

echo "ifeq ($(subdir),math)\nlibm-support += fenv_const fe_nomask

echo "Created fpu/Makefile"
Then I configured and compiled and it compiled up fine. I havent gotten
a chance to test it yet.
Following is the post from Marcus:
Hi,
first note the "Reply To" - we have a new list, so why not use it.

Configuring gcc with --with-cpu=860 and --nfp will make the
_compiler_ default to -msoft-float. It will however _not_ make the
pre-processor define -D_SOFT_FLOAT by default, which will cause
all variable arguments functions taking floating point arguments
(like the *print[fs] family) to be mis-compiled.
The fix is to add this code to your gcc's 'specs' file under the
section '*cpp_sysv':
%{!mhard-float: -D_SOFT_FLOAT}
Likewise, passing -mcpu=860 to gcc will imply -msoft-float, but
not -D_SOFT_FLOAT. So either fix your specs file or always
explicitly pass -msoft-float to gcc.

Ok, here's how to build glibc for embedded PPC:
First you must remove the assumption that cachelines are 32 bytes:
Apply this diff, and simply move sysdeps/powerpc/memset.S out of the
way for now:
diff -ur orig/glibc-2.1.1/sysdeps/powerpc/dl-machine.c

(The ifdef is bogus - PPC_CACHELINESIZE_32 is actually never defined,
and this should really be handled runtime anyway. The problem is that
reading the PVR is a supervisor level operation for some stupid reason,
and afaik there is no other way to find out what the line size is.
My vote is to have a special sysctl entry for the cacheline size,
for fast and easy access (one syscall compared to the
open()/read()/close()
triplet for normal /proc entries, and you also don't have to have the
/proc fs mounted), and then cache the result in a static variable.)
Secondly you will want to remove the floating point assembler.
This is done by piping the following diff into the attached script
(with sysdeps/powerpc as your cwd):

Now you can simply configure glibc with --without-fp and build it.
It is possible that some of the more advanced stuff in the math
library will not work - I get warnings about fe_* functions being
stubs, but as I have no idea of what a "floating point environment"
is or how to implement it when using soft floats it's nothing I can
do about it. Most programs work fine here.
