Just recompile glibc-2.2 (well, and all other shared libs you already built
against glibc-2.2, but that isn't important for a pure glibc upgrade) with
the new binutils and force users to upgrade binutils too if they upgrade to
glibc-2.2. For my PPC rpm I just added a "Requires: binutils > 2.10.0.33"
to the glibc spec, I think apt supports similar stuff.
