I saved the output of my "make install", and I have analogous lines
there (except for the names for the source/build dirs).

ooops, something wrong. I have 

 echo ld-2.2.3.so /lib/ld-linux.so.2 >> /usr/local/src/glibc/glibc-build/elf/symlink.list

instead of rm -f ...  here.

Sure, since ln is dynamically linked and needs /lib/ld-linux.so.2

It is a symlink, which before pointed to /lib/ld-2.1.1.so .
It had to be changed to /lib/ld-2.2.3.so   I am not sure
how my make install did it.  As you see above, it stored
the names of all the symlinks to be taken care of in this
symlink.list file.  At the very end, make install did

 /usr/local/src/glibc/glibc-build/elf/sln
/usr/local/src/glibc/glibc-build/elf/symlink.list

I removed the build directory afterwards, so I have no idea
what elf/sln was like. I suspect that it was a script that 
did "ln -s -f -n " on all the files to be re-symlinked.

This is what I did for the compilation of glibc

 made sure the kernel headers are OK with make mrproper; make xconfig; make dep in the
kernel tree
 patch the source of glibc-2.2.3 with a patch by A. Jaeger
 unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 in the build dir,  ../glibc-2.2.3/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons
--enable-kernel=2.2.18
 make 
 make check
 make info; make dvi; make pdf
 telinit 1
 /usr/bin/env LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C make install > MAKE.INSTALL.2.2.3 2>& 1
 reboot


Good luck,
Minko
