glibc version in Wheezy--any way to use 2.15?

[Carl Fink <carl@finknetwork.com>]

Some non-packaged software, e.g. the BOINC client, requires a relatively
recent version of glibc.

Wheezy, the latest non-unstable version of Debian, is stuck at 2.13,
released 1.5 years ago, and since it is frozen there won't be a new glibc
available for some undetermined amount of time probably not less than six
months.

So aside from waiting for jessie to exist, what are my options? Has anyone
tried installing glibc from unstable in a Wheezy system? How usable is sid,
these days?

Thanks.
