There aren't any errors in the logs for 6.4 on quantum.  This may be a gcc-4.4 
problem.  I got basically the same error on glibc-2.9.  There I got:

root:/sources/glibc-build# grep Error glibc-check-log
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/math/test-ildoubl.out] Error 1
make[1]: *** [math/tests] Error 2
make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
make: *** [check] Error 2

The following identifiers will be ignored since the compiler defines them
by default:
unix
linux

Tested files:
=== aio.h ===
*  invalid macro `SIGPROF'
... lots more

I'm going to recheck  glibc-2.10.1 with gcc-4.3.2
