segmentation fault when compiling GLIBC 2.2.4 on Slackware

[TigerHawk]

I was upgrading all my gnu stuff lately and I've been having trouble 
with GLIBC. The first time I tried this it wouldn't compile. But now it 
does compile, but the make check fails. Here's my output:


make[2]: Entering directory /usr/src/gnu/glibc-2.2.4/ctype'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for ests'.
make[2]: Leaving directory /usr/src/gnu/glibc-2.2.4/ctype'
make  -C intl tests

I took a look at the FAQ and did what it said (tried to run the command 
in the directory the problemw as in), but I got the same message. If you 
could help me, I would sincerely apreciate it - since I'm now having 
difficulty compiling other things as a result.

Thanks,
