The problem with the "newer" glibc versions is it causes issues a number of games due to library bugs and backwards compatibility issues. 2.2 seems to be the only once capable of stably running all games we offer. Im currently testing CS: Source under FreeBSD 5.2.1 using redhat8 base. No "OS" related issues so far. There is generally no need to go to glibc 2.3 even when using the later versions of gcc. This is how all the UT stuff is currently compiled.

It's time for ya to upgrade anyways ;p. Debian Woody is kinda out of date anyways and Sarge is about to be released (as stable) soon. For all you FreeBSD users, it's a linux port so please don't b*tch about that it doesn't work for you. The only reason the old HLDS worked was becaused it was built for older glibcs (ok if this is wrong correct me (i havent tried cs:s on a freebsd machine yet)). I think it's about time that all GSPs update to the "newer" glibc 2.3 which has been around for a while.
