Bad idea. Red Hat has patch to glibc that you really need. I would be
surprized if you had much luck with a tarball version.

Of course, you don't install glibc in /usr/local on a linux system. The
Red Hat version uses /usr or /, I don't have the SRPM handy to check which.
What addons are you enabling? Some might conflict.

Looks like your attmpt to run configure failed.
You really should get the rpm.
Boot in rescue mode, mount your filesystem under /mntsysimage if recue
doesn't. Then use
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage --root=/mnt/sysimage <correct glibc rpms>
Make sure you use i686 version of glibc, if you have i686 or better.
Problems occur switching from i686 to i386 versions. glibc-common is
i386 only, and needed too.
