Yes, I know some people have upgraded 2.3 across point releases, but I never saw a reason to try that.
If all you really want to do is upgrade the kernel, keep the existing glibc (even though it was built against old headers) and the existing headers. You might occasionally need to upgrade something else - recently, udev has been a favourite for requiring newer versions (and then newer bootscripts), but that is deprecated if Linus or akpm spot it. Of course, if a new kernel has a new interface, it won't be usable unless you rebuild glibc. But, that assumes that glibc knows how to use it - the normal pattern seems to be to put the interface in the kernel, then make glibc-CVS know about it (mainly because until the interface _is_ in the kernel, the details could change). So, a stable version of glibc that can use the new interface will lag behind the kernel.
