over here I built gnutls,
then used this to build libc:
CFLAGS="-m64 -mtune=core2 -march=core2 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" 
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" MAKEOPTS="{-j3}" ../glibc/configure --prefix=/usr
--disable-profile --enable-add-ons --enable-kernel=2.6.0 
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc --libdir=/usr/lib --with-selinux 
--with-tls(or whatever the enable option is for tls)

keep in mind this is the latest: 2.11.90, not sure for 2.3.2

hope this helps.
