using gsrc to compile glibc results segment fault

I'm using gsrc to compile glibc in order to use multiple versions of it on my machine. I'm using debian and when I tried make -C pkg/gnu/libc install -j8 it just reports this error:

Segmentation fault make: *** [sysinstall-install] Error 1

Does anyone have ideas on what this could be?

    You didn't tell how this libc has been configured. In any case, incorrectly installing GLIBC on a system is a very easy way to render your system un-bootable. This is not recommended for novices (and you appear to be a novice).
