Instead, you may want to use the potato debs for glibc (currently at
2.2.0pre7, IIRC). This way, the dpkg system won't get confused over which
library version you have installed.

If vital programs like init or sh break, then your system probably won't
run. But if you go with the potato glibc, all you have to go is install
the potato versions of the broken packages, no recompiling necessary.
As always, potato is unstable. Things could easily break.
