not sure how you do that, but normally, compiling a debian package is done as 
followsd :

but all thre files in a directory of your choice (/usr/local/debian ?)

you cshould then do a dpkg-source or something similar, don't remember 
exactly, with the .dsc file as argument.

then you have to go to the directory and do a dpkg-buildpackage with some 
options (-us -uc, if you don't want to sign it, -r sudo/fakeroot if you are not 
running as root, ...and it builds the bpackage.

the problem is that glibc2.1 is still *experimental* on powerpc, so most 
package cause some problem, the best you have to do, is to compile some other 
package to see if it works, and report the non working ones at the 
debian-ppowerpc mailing list (at
which you should subscribe) saying that this packaeg don't compile (and saying 
you say it just for info, and are aware that it is still experimental, to not 
get flamed ..)

mostly the packages are in the way of being adapted to glibc2.1.

Friendly, 
and good luck (did you get the tglibc2 tarball t
from a mirror of debian incoming, or did you do it in another manner, does the 
clock get set correctly ('is hwclock present, or conly clock ? ) you sdhould 
report any install and run problem to debian_powerpc list to make sure they 
support linux-apus.

Friendly,

And good luck.
