It seems that you skipped something essential.

This is a sign that you are missing some headers and possibly
implementations.  There could be some pieces architecture specific
which need to be filled in.

You will be much better off using as a starting poing ready glibc
sources from, say, Red Hat srpm where this is version is already running
__and__ a corresponding 'glibc-kernheaders' package from the same
distribution.  "Sanitizing" kernel headers is not a simple job and
kernel headers are not guaranteed to be useful for anything but that
particular kernel to which they belong.
