No.
Please tell us exactly what you're doing. From which libc are you
updating? Did you read the whole FAQ and INSTALL files?
Try compiling a simple "hello world" program and check what goes
wrong. The script test-installation.pl doesn't tell you everything -
it just tells you that you have to investigate yourself.
