I hadn't understood you wanted a current state of an OS, plus current system and other packages, BUT with a deprecated version of glibc. I thought you would be OK to use a stage 3 from back then as it was in its totality, frozen in time, with no updates or backported packages.
Yes, I need up-to-date or near-up-to-date build tools like cmake and gcc.
However, since you managed to hold back glibc while updating everything else, you have proven what you wanted could be done! I would think this on its own is a feat worth a HowTo. :-)
So far gentoo doesn't complain, besides keeping remind me my installed glibc is masked. But it's a quite minimalist system. I found the existing HowTo 'Update Old Gentoo'[1] useful for setting this up.
