If dev-lang/python:2.7 does not allow you to emerge glibc then use eselect to 
switch --python2 to an older python available in that box and try emerging 
glibc with that.  You may have to repeat this until successful (hopefully) 
with dev-lang/python:2.7.

I don't know if you would need to update glibc in smaller steps (I can't 
recall how many versions were there in between) but this can be a painful 
process.
