Assuming you have testing or unstable (wherever it is) in your
/etc/apt/sources.list, a simple "apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev" should do
the trick. I didn't have any problems doing that.
Of course you might get into dependency problems and have other packages that
need to be upgraded to support the new libc. There are a few packages it
replaces or conflicts with...mostly old libraries and compilers.
Best of luck to you.
