make check failures with glibc-2.2.3

[David Ronis]

I just tried building glibc-2.2.3 on an i685-linux(2.4.4)-gnu(2.2.2)
box using

1) gcc version 3.0 20010504 (prerelease)

and 

2) gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

In both cases, I configured as:

./configure  --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads --enable-omitfp

with no CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS environment variables set.

In both cases, the builds went fine.

In both cases I got several make check errors.  Here's what grep Error
gives on the log.

With  gcc version 3.0 20010504 (prerelease)

make[1]: *** [initfirst.out] Error 139
make: *** [elf/tests] Error 2

while with  gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release):

make[1]: *** [testgrp.out] Error 1
make: *** [grp/tests] Error 2
make[1]: *** [globtest.out] Error 1
make[1]: [annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
make: *** [posix/tests] Error 2


I'm not too concerned that the development compiler fared worse, but
the last time I tried it, there was only a single glibc testsuit
failure.  

Is it safe to install the 2.95.3 version?
