Thank you very much, it worked in exactly this way. I could reduce my
libc-2.2.2 from 1.1 MB to 500 kB now.

For the other people trying this here is my script I execute after
compiling and installing  glibc 2.2.2:

---
#!/bin/sh
cp libc_pic.a ../lib/
cp libc.map ../lib/libc_pic.map
mkdir ../lib/libc_pic
cp elf/interp.os ../lib/libc_pic/interp.o
cp elf/soinit.os ../lib/libc_pic/soinit.o
cp elf/sofini.os ../lib/libc_pic/sofini.o
---

How have you done the libthread? Standard compilation for glibc produces
_pic only for libc on my system. My libm is still quite large.
