One thing Rueben can do as well is configure, make and make check with
--prefix=/.

This is a safe way to run the glibc make check without jumping through
other hoops.

Just DON'T sudo make install or you'll blow away the system libraries.

Hrm, Mike's suggestion add's a fourth option to my glibc test options.
 I'll try to get it up on the wiki relatively soon.
