You can do whatever you want as long as you don't distribute binaries
nor run binaries compiled on other systems.

However, in order to keep binary compatibility between different Linux
systems, I am not talking about different Debian machines built by
different Debian people at different times, it is referring to ALL
Linux machines based on glibc 2, including RedHat, Debian, ...., it i
s mandated to upgrade to the latest glibc 2.0/2.1 and egcs 1.1.1/Linux.
That is one reason we made those changes. It is required. Period.
