glibc 2.1.97 - make check fails

[Alexander Haväng <eel at musiknet dot se>]

System information:
Linux laika 2.2.18pre18 #2 Tue Oct 31 22:38:30 CET 2000 i686 unknown
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
binutils 2.10
ld.so.1.9.9

All utilities are built from scratch, no patches applied.
They are built with gcc 2.95.2 and glibc 2.1.3 (also installed from source)
	
First make check dies here:

gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o tst-dir  -Wl,-dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux.so.2

[/usr/ports/linuxports/devel/glibc/glibc-2.1.97]# cat posix/tst-dir.out 
cannot change to object directory: No such file or directory

No clue about that one.
I run make check again, and...

gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -o tst-chmod  -Wl,-dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux.so.2

No clue about that one either.
Again, I do make check, and...

No LFS support in my kernel perhaps?

`.protected' seems to be handled correctly, good!

No clue about that one either.

Make install worked fine, but I didn't really have to guts to install it
as a system library.
