Jack,
This is another of those "known problems to manually fix", it seems. All
that's needed is when the glibc cast starts complaining, press CTRL-C to
cancel, then do 'cd /usr/src/glibc-2.3.1; make install', now you have
glibc 2.3.1 installed, though it's not registerd. To fix this, just do
'cast -c glibc' and it will successfully finish, this time, and be
registered.
There have been some tries at fixing this, but so far they do not seem to
be working, but once everyone has upgraded the few trouble spells (gcc and
glibc are already done on the Beta2 ISO, the Beta3 should also have
gettext), then we won't have these problems anymore (well, at least until
they make major changes again, you know, gcc 4.0, glibc 2.4, etc. ;0).
Keep in mind that SMGL is still a "work in progress". :)
