That'd be the safest way to go, although you could upgrade to
glibc-2.3.5 or 2.3.6 as long as you're rebuilding. For now, just grab
the patch
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.3.4-rtld_search_dirs-1.patch
and we'll focus on rebuilding glibc-2.3.4 exactly as the LFS-6.1 book
did it.
I've never done this on a live system. If you're trying to replace
the C libraries on the system that you're running, very bad things can
happen.
That doesn't apply when you are installing almost-the-same glibc as the
existing version. So applying the patch on the live system is _safe_ in
this case. In fact, we used to replace glibc on the live system just
before LFS-4.1.
