I'm not sure if this change would require the host system to have glibc
2.11 or later, but it probably wouldn't hurt.  That glibc version was
released Nov 2009.

...My main system is running glibc-2.10.1.  My firewall is running glibc-2.3.2
-- although in that case, it doesn't matter as I'll cross compile from the
main system instead of building a new LFS on the machine.  (It's a P3, single
core.  It'll take forever to build on the machine.)

I'd really rather avoid making changes that require libcs newer than 2.10.1 on
the host, as it would seem to mean that I'm out of luck on ever getting back
onto a current build.  (As it would take too much to build an e.g. LFS 7ish
setup, followed by whatever "current" is at the time.)

I know what you mean. I Use a vintage 2005 686 as my workstation. (It has really good graphics and I did a complete upgrade in 2012).

In your case though, you would only need to change to --with-glibc-version=2.10, but I am guessing it would work with 2.11 anyway.

The good news is that the change is very early in the build and any issues would happen early in the process.
