I would guess its more safe to build and install gcc 3.2 in
your /usr/local directory tree than upgrading glibc. 3.2 is
not yet released, but thats just a matter of some days (hopefully).
You can find the latest snapshot in ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/ .

Please note that the C++ ABI has been changed with gcc 3.2. The
"old" libraries compiled with g++ 3.0.x or 3.1.x can't be used
with 3.2 anymore.

And you might want to check this page:

Good luck
