You will not be able to build glibc with an open64-based compiler
without a lot of work.  Glibc requires a _lot_ of gcc
extensions that are not implemented in open64.
(We've achieved it for our own retargeted version of
open64, but it was several months of blood, sweat and tears.)

If you _have_ to build glibc then you'll have to build it with
gcc.  (But I think that is unlikely to be necessary because
a prebuilt version should be available).
