Like I said, then your distribution must be fixed.

On any glibc 2.0.7 system I have here, I can do an
"apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev gcc binutils" and everything will
be automatically upgraded to glibc 2.1.2 and the latest development
tools within minutes without breaking anything or without bringing
the system down.

Ofcourse I use the technically most advanced distribution ;)

Mike.
