No. GlibC upgrading should be very cautious. GlibC2.0/2.1/2.2 are not
compitable definitely. If you upgrade GlibC2.0 to GlibC2.1, even some
commandline instructions will be invalid.

Since you changed your basic system library, the conservative manner is to
rebuild your GDB and other applications. That sounds horrible.
