Note that glib and glibc are *not* the same thing. But since you are speaking of linuxthreads I assume the "glib" above is a typo. If you want to compile from source you should start with a configure, probably followed by a make dep before you do a make and make install. Which version of Red Hat is your system currently running? You could try rebuilding the src.rpm of a newer release. Probably a lot of dependencies, and if the version jump is too big you could expect difficulties. Another approach is to take the spec file from the current src.rpm, adjust the "source" entries to reflect the new source code and rip out all the "Patch" and "%patch" entries and probably some ad hoc %prep code. Don't forget to set the correct version and release as well (add an identifier to make clear this is your build, lr behind the release for example). After that you should be able to rebuild the rpms running rpm[build] -ba glibc.spec. Rebuild with --target i686 for i686 optimization.
