Use apt-get. You will have MUCH less headaches then trying to do this
manually. Install apt-get from slink, edit /etc/apt/sources.list to look
like this

####
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main
####

Then run these commands:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install libc6

This will most likely upgrade quite a few packages. After it is all over,
you will be running Glibc 2.1.2.
