No, there isn't.

There's really no other way. glibc uses some special paths (specified
at compile time) and you can not just place the libraries in another
location. It might work - but it might also fail in subtle ways.
Putting them in /usr/lib and /lib will break your libc5 system.
Either install glibc as a secondary lib (read the HowTo and the FAQ),
or get yourself a distribution that comes with glibc 2.1.x.
