Hi there.
I created VMware virtual machines based on the following ISOs.
   debian-6.0.5-amd64-netinst.iso
   debian-wheezy-DI-a1-amd64-netinst.iso

I wanted to use qemu, but I couldn't get kvm to work so it was too slow.

I ran through the eglibc build on both of them.
The 6.0.5 installation built eglibc-2.11.3 successfully.
The wheezy installation failed to build eglibc-2.13-32 with the following errors<<EOF

make[2]: Target `check' not remade because of errors.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/contact/eglibc-2.13'
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/contact/eglibc-2.13/build-tree/amd64-libc'
#
# Testsuite failures, someone should be working towards
# fixing these! They are listed here for the purpose of
# regression testing during builds.

annexc.out, Error 1 (ignored)
tst-cpuclock2.out, Error 1
tst-eintr1.out, Error 1
tst-writev.out, Error 1
***************
Encountered regressions that don't match expected failures:
tst-eintr1.out, Error 1
make: *** [/home/contact/eglibc-2.13/stamp-dir/check_libc] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1350:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -b -j4 failed
EOF

I suspended the VM part way through which may account for the cpuclock2 error.

Can you tell me what your kernel version is, hardware etc?
Do you have KDE4 installed?
For squeeze, the default root fs is ext3, for wheezy it's ext4.
