Installing glibc

Dear Managers,

I am a newbie sysadmin, and such previous Unix experience as I've had
has been mostly with Solaris/SunOS. I have an AlphaServer 5/300 running
DUnix 4.0 and am attempting to install the GNU glibc package. I have
gcc 2.7.2.2 and GNU make 3.75 installed.

I have run into several problems so far, described below. I have tried
both glibc-1.09.1 and glibc-2.0.4, and run into the same problems with
both.

What do I need to do to get glibc (either version) to install? Thanks
in advance for your assistance. I will summarize for the list.

Problem description:

1. During make, I get the following error:

awk -f sysdeps/unix/ioctls.awk requests="`cat sysdeps/../ioctls`"
sysdeps/unix/T
 awk: String ALLDELAY A cannot be longer than 2047 bytes.
 The source line is 11.
 awk: String ALLDELAY A cannot be longer than 2047 bytes.
 The source line is 11.
 awk: String ALLDELAY A cannot be longer than 2047 bytes.
 The source line is 11.
make: *** [sysdeps/../make-ioctls.c] Error 2

I can make this go away by using gawk rather than awk. Is this a
correct approach?

2. If I continue the make after this, I immediately get:

mv sysdeps/../make-ioctls.cT sysdeps/../make-ioctls.c
cd sysdeps/..; gcc -include config.h -DHAVE_sys_termios_h \
                make-ioctls.c -o make-ioctls
In file included from make-ioctls.c:29:

I'm stuck at this point. Help!
