build failure glibc-2.2.3

[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- --with-headers=/usr/downloads/unpacked/linux/include --enable-kernel=2.4.4.   Then make and make check. 

 

make check ended with
gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o /root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/inet/test_ifindex -Wl, -dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/csu/crtl.o /root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/csu/crti.o `gcc --print-file-name=crtbegin.o` /root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/inet/test_ifindex.o -Wl, -rpath-link=/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/math:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/elf:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/dlfcn:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/nss:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/nis:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/rt:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/resolv:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/crypt:/root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/linuxthreads /root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/libc.so.6 /root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/libc_nonshared.a -lgcc `gcc --print-file-name=crtend.o` /root/builds/glibc-2.2.3/csu/crtn.o

My system is Corel Linux 1.1 upgraded to the 2.4.4 kernel, with gcc 2.95.3, and make 3.79. 
Any help/response/kindness greatly appreciated.
