I'm trying compiling eglibc on my alpha box now, but it hangs whole machine after 10 minutes of build process.
I compiled libc (I think it was 2.11.2-11) from unstable, to get inotify_init1 and to fix memchr, without any problems and have it installed and running ok on Debian unstable.
Aurelien: I've downloaded and compiled 2.13-0exp4 eglibc from experimental and see the test-suite failures you reported. I had a look at tst-cancel24, etc., but unfortunately it is c++ code and my knowledge of c++ is extremely cursory so I doubt I can be of much help.
It might be worth mentioning on the linux-alpha mailing list. People like Richard Henderson who have a deep knowledge of alpha architecture and glibc seem to still lurk there.
