Glibc installation has always been a problem for me. My solution is

# make install install_root=/foo/bar
# cd /foo/bar
# cp -af sbin etc usr /
# mkdir /lib/glibc-2.1.1-19990519
# cd lib
# cp -af . /lib/glibc-2.1.1-19990519
# cd /lib
# ln -sf glibc-2.1.1-19990519/* .

I hope we can formalize on it. It will make glibc upgrade much
easier and safer.
