Yes, it will. The "devel" variant of glibc is needed if you intend to
compile software, essentially any software, on your system. Which is
exactly what you're trying to do.
(I'm running Redhat 6.2, with qmail build from the source tarball.)

Yep, that's going to be tight. Especially memory. I ran a 486/100
with 48 meg of ram for a while recently. But my first qmail install
was on a 386/25 with 8 meg of ram, and that ran for years, doing mail
and web too, at my friendly local ISP. So you should be able to make
it work.
