Updating glibc is very tricky stuff, with many dependencies and
opportunities to break the system midway through installation. The usual
way to do it (at least in RedHat-land) is to update your distribution
installation.
This document discusses how to do a glibc install:

it's targeted at upgrading from libc5, and the requirements might not
be as elaborate if you're coming from glibc2.0.
