Mike, all,
the packages you need should exist:

Hello,
I am attempting to upgrade one of our older servers running RH 7.3

Ok, so you need a package for glibc 2.2.
There are two choices, both on the 4.0 download page:
1) From the section "Linux (non RPM package) downloads", first row, a
"tar.gz": "Linux (x86, glibc-2.2, ..."
2) A bit further down, the RPMs:
"Linux x86 generic RPM (statically linked against glibc 2.2.5) downloads"
Here, the "server" and "client" RPMs do not require the glibc 2.3.
it's currently using 3.23.58 and tried installing 4.0.26 rpm's for
linux, but won't install due to the following error:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.26-0
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.26-0
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.26-0
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by
MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.26-0
I am surprised the "shared" packages need glibc 2.3, typically this
should be indicated by a "-glibc23" part in the package name.
For which purpose do you need "shared" and "shared-compat"?
Now of the RPM's will install. Is there a 4.0.+ version that will
install on this type of server without have to upgrade alot of other
stuff ?? Or can we build it from source, and if so, what is the
recommend configure options used to build from source ?
Yes, you can build it from source.
IMHO, running the RPM build process (using the "spec" file) on your
machine should even provide these packages.
HTH,
Joerg
