A simpler and less error-prone way to unpack the source would be to use
"dpkg-source -x eglibc_2.11.3-2.dsc".

The Debian diff does not patch the source directly, but uses a patch
system named quilt. You need to install the quilt package and then run
"make -f debian/rules patch".
The unpatched source does not build because Debian had to remove the
documentation, and the upstream build system is not prepared for that.
