OK, I wasn't expecting that you would delete everything before running 
those commands :-) That's why it didn't work.

Anyway, this is enough to know that something weird is going on.

Is that really a question mark between the quotes, or did it get mangled 
by email?

Could you try compiling the following test program for me:

cat > test.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
#ifdef __GLIBC__
puts("yes");
#else
puts("no");
#endif
}
gcc -o test test.c
./test

and let me know whether it outputs "yes" or "no"?

Cheers, Chris.
