This should do it...
GLIBC_VERSION=$(basename /lib/libc-*.so .so)
GLIBC_VERSION=${GLIBC_VERSION##*-}
...or better yet, follow that with:
GLIBC_MAJOR_VERSION=${GLIBC_VERSION%%.?}

Of course, there are MORE things than that. One of the most important:
GPL is "viral" in that any code that uses GPL-licensed code MUST be GPL
licensed; BSD licenses don't have that. The X Consortium caused quite a
stir when they tried to take X into the commercial realm as a
proprietary private product - which they could do under their license.
Under a GPL license, they couldn't do that.
