I can definitely say that upgrading Glibc is rather easy and painless as long as you are confident in your abilities. I went from 2.16 to 2.20 on one of my PCs recently. I compiled Glibc normally but at the before you install Glibc, do the following to go into a single-user mode: *** IF YOU ARE ON SYSVINIT *** init 1 *** IF YOU ARE ON SYSTEMD *** systemctl start rescue.target Note that I upgraded Binutils, GCC, GMP, MPC, MPFR, and ZLIB directly after I installed it, but that is just from personal preference.
