The messages about the password and group functions are normal -- glibc
telling you that it requires dynamic functionality for those functions
to work as expected, and warning that the right shared libraries must be
available at runtime.

The messages about malloc are probably due to some unresolved symbol
pulling in the libc malloc, which results in multiply-defined symbols.
I don't know what that symbol might be -- I can build a static bash
without those conflicts on RHEL3 -- but configuring
--without-bash-malloc should at least get you a working binary.
