It will have to be updated anyway.  There are some serious problems
with exception handling.  Recompiling glibc will result in a libc.so
that doesn't export __frame_start_for.  This means that exception
handling in existing C++ binaries won't work properly (ld.so will
complain about a missing symbol when an exception is thrown) and the
introduction of __register_frame_info_bases in GCC 3.0 might also have
some nasty side effects.
