You will have to have a running copy of Debian sarge to be able to
compile the sources; the debianised tarballs will require specific
dependencies to build them.
So, if you /really/ want to do this, install from the binary CDs, and
then compile the sources.
Some hints to get you started:
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get build-dep libc6
apt-get -b source libc6
Cheers,
Paul
