Operating System is Exherbo Linux with kernel 3.13.0-rc7 running on amd64:
uname -a
Linux orionis 3.13.0-rc7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 7 23:45:18 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

There is no cross compiling, I'm compiling on this computer for exactly this 
platform and this computer. I didn't do any special setup for the build 
environment, just ran configure (without any options) and make.

compiler:
gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

gcc version 4.8.2 (exherbo gcc-4.8.2-r2)

In case this might be useful, binutils is version 2.24. Linux headers are from 3.12.

Currently, I have zsh 5.0.2 installed, which was built using gcc 4.7 and glibc 
2.17. So this might be related to the new gcc (4.8) I have installed since 2 
approx. weeks. Unfortunately, I removed the old gcc already, otherwise I would 
just check with that one and see if it compiles.
I also noticed that glibc 2.17 has been build with gcc 4.7, no idea if that 
might be important. I will try to build it with the newer one and check if that 
helps.
