If sbcl really needs glibc 2.14 ( which I doubt ), you cannot use it in RHEL 6 unless you create a chroot where you install both sbcl and a newer glibc. If the binary that you have found a newer glibc that but it is not a hard requirement of the source (but the binary was built for a different distro), see the options listed below.

I did not find glibc_2.14 (and 2.15 and 2.16) rpm's for rhel6.
For as long as RHEL6 will exist glibc will stay at its current level


Is compiling my own version the only other alternative?
There are at least 2 options here
- persuade the maintainer of the EPEL package to update it
- grab the source package from epel and the source of sbcl , edit the spec file included in the source rpm and build a newer, updated version.
