You are essentially going to have to start with what is known as a 
clipped port, a build that does not include the standard universe and 
checkpointing functionality. AFAIK, the glibc external is only needed 
for creating a full port, one that isn't clipped. You should start by 
passing --without-full-port to configure and see how far that gets you. 
You'll probably run into the same glibc issue as above and you can fix 
it in a similar fashion to how you fixed the gcc issue. Search for 
"including_glibc_ext" in configure.ac for some guidance.

As for the ld issue, I'm not sure what to tell you about that, but since 
it is only a warning you may just be unable to statically link your 
built Condor binaries, which is not the end of the world.

Best,
