I did whereis glibc and it showed nothing, yet when I did this on a local linux box, it found it. This is why I needed to install it. I did, however, install it in an alternate directory "--prefix=/brown".

You shouldn't have done things like these ever! The base system including those "run-time libraries" shouldn't ever be touched! Unless one really knows what one is doing... One could consider updating the binutils and GCC in '/usr/bin' etc but as default this will not happen. When one builds binutils or GCC the '--prefix=/usr/local' is the default... Replacing the system glibc is something which most people will never try because after that the whole system may be totally non-working... I myself always suggest people to use the original pre-made glibc etc. for the target system even in those cross compiler cases, so if someone wants the cross-built apps to work on a FC6 system, one has better to use those original FC6 glibc-2.5, X11, GTK, KDE etc. libraries than to try to replace them with "totally self-made" components. This really weird attitude however seems to be very common among the cross-GCC builders, it is not enough that people only build the target binutils, GCC and possibly GDB, people also will rebuild all the (already built and tested) target libraries for some weird "bolshevistic" reason ("Anything which was made earlier should not be used - everything must be made from absolute scratch again"). Maybe this weird attitude, "everything in a GCC : binutils, GCC and glibc, should be rebuilt from pristine FSF sources!", has now appeared into the native GCC builds too :(
