Upgrading glibc

[Georg E. Paulusberger]

I started with a SuSE 8.1 distribution which has glibc-2.2.5 on it.
I use gcc-3.2 and make-3.79.
I successfully compiled glibc-2.3.2.

However, when running 'make install' it stops with the following error
messages:

/bin/sh: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by
/lib/libdl.so.2)
/bin/sh: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by
/lib/libdl.so.2)
/bin/sh: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version 'GLIBC_2.1.1' not found (required by
/lib/libc.so.6)
/bin/sh: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version 'GLIBC_2.2.3' not found (required by
/lib/libc.so.6)
/bin/sh: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version 'GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by
/lib/libc.so.6)
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/glibc-2.3.2'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2

Any hints where to search and correct this situation are welcome!
