The safest way is to create a libc6 development system on a separate
partition or as a chroot()ed environment.
I took the chroot() approach yesterday. The resulting directory structure,
to be used with chroot(8) can be found tarred up at
ftp://ftp.wi.leidenuniv.nl/pub/linux/devel-ray/highly-experimental/libc6-build-env.tar.gz
This is _highly experimental, it works for me_ stuff. Note that for building
most programs you'll have to wait for libraries that work with libc6.
