What do you want to test?

1) Build was succesful or not?
Ans: Then the compilation would tell you. Or else you can us elfdump command (odump if lib is PA-32 bit) to see if all the sections are in place or not.

2) If APIs are available or not?
Ans: One way is to build non-stripped version and use 'nm' command to see if all the required APIs are listed or not.
Second way is to write a small program that uses these APIs and link it with glibc. the program should work fine.
