No, most likely you will break something. Change your sources.list lines
to point to woody (temporarily) and do:
apt-get install libstdc++2.10-dev g++ libc6-dev
That should fix things, and then you can change it back to potato. I hope
you know that binary compatibility with glibc2.2 only works one way. IOW,
if you compile something with this new glibc2.2 installed, it wont run on
a stock potato system with glibc 2.1.3.
