Building linux toolchain - glibc 2.3.2. configure fails

Hi,

I'am trying to build the linux toolchain for my pentium iv
machine, specified the target as i686-pc-linux-gnu.Used the versions
-kernel-2.4.22,binutils-2.13.2.1,gcc-3.2.1 to begin the toolchain
build.Error occured during configuration part of glibc.It is as
follows :

$ ../glibc-2.3.2/configure --host=$TARGET --prefix="/usr"
--enable-add-ons --with-headers=$/include
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use
--host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be
used.

Why this error occurs?If I specify the target as i386-linux ,this
problem does not occur.Isn't the target type specified correct?Which
is the target type for pentium IV system.I am using Red HAT Linux 9
,gcc version 3.2.2 on my system.If the target type is not the
problem,then what else may the problem.Pls help.

Kurian.
