FWIW, I recently tried building glibc-2.5-11 but it has a problem with
semaphore.h that appears to be linuxthreads related. I was able to fix the
build but that header was omitted from the installation, causing userspace
breakage. I never resolved that, and I don't know whether glibc 2.5 is
adequate for Debian 5.0. I know precious little about glibc hacking and
I'm still working on drivers so I gave up on it.
The gentoo portage tree has:
glibc-2.2.5-r10.ebuild
glibc-2.3.2-r12.ebuild
glibc-2.3.5-r3.ebuild
glibc-2.3.6-r4.ebuild
glibc-2.3.6-r5.ebuild
glibc-2.4-r4.ebuild
glibc-2.5-r2.ebuild
glibc-2.5-r3.ebuild
glibc-2.5-r4.ebuild
glibc-2.5.1.ebuild
glibc-2.6.ebuild
glibc-2.6.1.ebuild
Has anyone tried these ebuilds on m68k? Maybe they have patches.
