I understand that glibc was a split development branch which is
now being merged back into libc. In future there won't be a glibc,
just a single libc branch. Perhaps that's why you can't find a pre-built
package with that version requirement.
That's what I've read, anyway. I don't remember what versions were
under discussion.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
