There's no localedata add-on for glibc 2.0.109 since localedata is now
part of glibc 2.1. Don't use glibc-localedata-2.0.7pre3 with glibc
2.1 test releases! Please rm -rf your sources and start again.

That's the wrong way to check! Just run make check - if the make
aborts with an error code, the tests fails. All outputs you presented
is from known, expected failures. Nothing to worry about (but feel
free to improve glibc;-).

libdb.so.2 should live in /lib. Are you sure that you're using a
libX11 that's compiled for glibc2? This message comes normally with
libc5 libraries mixed with glibc libraries. _xstat is really not
available in glibc2.1.

rm /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 and install X11 libraries compiled cleanly for
glibc2.
