The 2.2 build process mostly assumes that it is running on 2.2. My attempts to build 2.2.x on 4.x also died inside rtld. The problems were a mixture of the changes to symbol mapping (the '_' prepended to symbols in a.out but not ELF) and having the rtld work during the build process - when it has to work with the 4.x kernel. When I asked a similar question, Cy Schubert suggested running buildworld inside a chroot'd 2.2 environment - and that worked on a 4.x system (but I haven't gotten around to the installworld part).
