After you installed glibc-2.2.2, did you remember to (as root) run ldconfig? The problem may be something as simple as having forgotten to update your library search path to reflect the new libraries. I know, because I've had the same problem. The test program it's talking about is part of the ./configure script, and is one of the ways configure figures out what libraries and capabilities are installed on your system and where to find them.
