Number one, I don't know if you meant it to come off that way but it is 
fairly obnoxious to "expect" help.

Number two, compiling glibc2.5 on Hurd from upstream is no small task.  
You should search through the mailing lists, as there are a ton of 
patches you need.

Is there a specific reason you need to compile glibc?

Good Luck,
