Installing GLIBC for CentOS 4.6
 

I'd like to modify pthread library ( e.g.*manipulating*some functions ) in*glibc,*so I want to compile and install modified glibc.
However, I failed to compile glibc and need some help. How can I fix the problem?
*

Here*is the process*that I've tried.
1.*download glibc-2.3.4.tar.tar from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/
2. unzip glibc-2.3.4.tar.tar
3. make build-folder
[root@localhost /]# mkdir glibc-2.3.4-build
[root@localhost /]# cd glibc-2.3.4-build
4. configure (in the build-folder)
[root@localhost /]# ../glibc-2.3.4/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons5. make (in the build-folder)
[root@localhost /]# make
.....
make* -C csu subdir_lib
make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/hgfs/CentOS-4.6-i386_Shared/glibc-2.3.4/csu'

FYI, Here is my current information.

Messing with glibc must be done very carefully since the entire distro
depends on it. Also, updating glibc via source, when the system
expects an rpm is REALLY going to screw things up.

If you absolutely, positively have to mess with glibc, get the src.rpm
and rebuild with your own options.
