glibc 2.3.2 build problems on Alpha

Hello. Apologies if this is not the proper forum,
but I've been having a lot of trouble trying to build
glibc-2.3.2-20031004 (from RedHat's beta archive) on
a Compaq Alpha DS10. The stuff I'm seeing doesn't seem
to appear in the list archives, and I'm using recent
binutils, gcc 3.3.2, and linux 2.4.22

First of all, linuxthreads/crti.S causes the assembler
to complain because the .prologue directive in the function
_fini has no corresponding .ent or .end directive.

Also, there are two tests that fail:

1. tgmath has problems...the output file says

	double functions not called often enough (112)
	float functions not called often enough (108)

2. linuxthreads has a problem in tst-cancel8:

/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: 1st pthread_setcanceltype 
returned invalid value 6
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
close returned invalid value 3
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
2nd close returned invalid value 4
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
2nd pause returned invalid value 0
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
creat returned invalid value 120
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
2nd creat returned invalid value 120
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
open returned invalid value 120
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
2nd open returned invalid value 120
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
select returned invalid value -1
/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8: pthread_setcanceltype after 
2nd select returned invalid value -1
make[2]: *** [/home/jasonp/gnu/obj3/linuxthreads/tst-cancel8.out] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/home/jasonp/gnu/glibc-2.3.2-20031004a/linuxthreads'
make[1]: *** [linuxthreads/tests] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jasonp/gnu/glibc-2.3.2-20031004a'
make: *** [check] Error 2


How can I help fix these and get a non-ancient version of glibc on my system?
