I'm not sure whether it would be a problem -- it will be if the
upstream versions differ, but I doubt whether just different
debian revisions cause problems. However, I'd advice you to not
install different versions of libc5 and libc5-altdev, just to be
sure. Why not download libc5-altdev_5.4.24-6?

I've got libc6 installed, to, but have no problems compiling kernels
(well, 2.0.31-pre2 that is).
