+     By default, if the C++ toolchain lacks support for static linking,
+     configure fails to find the C++ header files and the glibc build
+     fails.  Use this option to disable the static C++ link check so

 '--disable-scv'
      Disable using 'scv' instruction for syscalls.  All syscalls will
      use 'sc' instead, even if the kernel supports 'scv'.  PowerPC only.
