What exactly is the requirement? That you develop against latest libc or that you deploy with latest libc? Because you mentioning security patches makes me suspect it's the latter, in which case it's a seriously bad idea to build your own. Are you going to subscribe to the CVE lists and rebuild every security patch yourself? Have you factored the ongoing maintenance cost of that in your project? If it's only that your project needs to build against the latest glibc, I recommend you start with an unstable buildroot (man debootstrap), and install your latest libraries in there. You don't even need to develop in the chroot, just develop on your own and run the integration tests in the chroot.
