That version of glibc will have been in unstable for some time, and
developers compile against that. Packages don't have to be built against
the exact same version of glibc due to the way shared libraries work.

Not unless there are other reasons for them to do so. I just build
packages on an ordinary unstable system unless I'm building a security
update for stable or something like that.
