2.2.3 failed during test

[tuthmose]

My recent effort to build glibc 2.2.3 failed:

I tried to compile glibc 2.2.3, having applied the nss patch.  From my empty
build directory I ran configure
with --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --with-headers=/usr/downloa
ds/unpacked/linux/include --enable-kernel=2.4.4.   Then make and make check.

make check ended with
gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o

My system is Corel Linux 1.1 upgraded to the 2.4.4 kernel, with
gcc 2.95.3,
make 3.79.1
binutil 2.10.1
texinfo 4.0
gawk 3.0.3
PERL 5.004-04
sed 3.02
autoconf 2.12
gettext 0.10.38

Any help/response/kindness greatly appreciated.
