I've been using glibc 2.3 with Red Hat 8.0 and everything seems to be working fine here though I don't know what they are doing for their work around. I've been recompiling their source rpms and up until last night they were compiling fine though now I'm getting some recloc errors. The reason I was interested glibc 2.3 is due to the fact it is supposed to support prelinking for c++ apps to provide faster startup times for KDE apps. My experience so far has been disappointing. KDE in MDK 9.0 is just as fast.
