apt-get source 'package' once you add source lines to your
/etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update:
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
for unstable as an example.
the glibc package is one of the more complex packages we keep. There is a
patches directory in the source as I recall so you should just need to add the
patch to the dir and then register it with the package's makefiles.
