Can confirm that I see the same problem - re-building as a normal user
on an up-to-date CentOS4 system.  Killing the defunct ld-linux.so.2
process allows the build to continue, but it then hangs again later with
another defunct process:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/prs/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.3-20050218T0151'
make: *** [check] Error 2

Killing again lets the build complete and write (suspect) RPMS.

There are a lot more errors in the output - all seeming to be test/check-related.

Trying the build now as root to see if that makes a difference.
