seek for help !

Dear Sir,

I am writing to seek for help in installing GLibc.

My system was a Pentium 600MHz PC running Linux installed with Slackware 7.1
(i.e. with linux kernel 2.2.16, glibc 2.1.3, bash 2.04, binutils 2.9.1.0.25,
egcs 2.91.66, gettext 0.10.35, make 3.79, modutils 2.3.11, texinfo 4.0,
util-linux 2.10l). Recently I decide to upgrade the kernel and the system
softwares, so I have done the following :

- added $HOME/tool/bin to PATH;
- upgraded binutils to version 2.14 with --prefix=$HOME/tool;
- upgraded bash to version 2.05b, replaced /bin/sh & /bin/bash;
- upgraded make to version 3.80 with --prefix=$HOME/tool;
- added Tcl 8.4.4, Expect 5.39, GNU DejaGNU 1.4.3, all under $HOME/tool;
- upgraded gettext to version 0.12.1 with --prefix=$HOME/tool;
- upgraded gcc to version 3.3.2 (core only, without g++), under $HOME/tool;
- removed the corresponding Slackware packages of all the above;
- upgraded util-linux to version 2.12, modutils to 2.4.25, e2fsprogs to 1.34;
- new kernel source was in /usr/src/linux-2.4.22;
- compiled & installed the new kernel, and rebooted the system;
- upgraded texinfo to version 4.6, gawk to 3.1.3, sed to 4.0.7, all under
  $HOME/tool, then removed the corresponding Slackware packages.

Then I proceed to installing GLibc 2.3.2. I obtained the CVS distribution
(since the "official" release had the 'sscanf' bug) and unpacked it. In an
empty "build" directory, I issued :

  sh ../libc/configure --prefix=$HOME/0 \
     --with-headers=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22/include \
     --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --with-binutils=$HOME/0/bin

The script completed successfully. Then I run "make" as usual. The process
completed, after nearly 2 hrs, with no obvious error. Then I run "make check".
But this cannot pass. The last screen is shown below :

I do not know which step had gone wrong. I should be most grateful if anyone
could help.


Yours sincerely,
