How can I compile the glibc without changing my system glibc. I would like

Can I run two different versions or is a better solution to downgrade the

I know just barely enough to tell you to STOP and wait for expert advice
before you attempt ANYTHING. I can't give you any correct advice except
that you should make a complete backup of your entire system NOW because
your chances of doing what you want are very slim before you destroy your
operating system.
For now, just make complete backups of everything -- and then do nothing
more until an expert gives you better advice than mine.
No, really, don't do it yet. Really! (And burn a bootable gentoo rescue
CD/DVD while your machine is still working.)
Any experts out there who can give better advice?
