I am curious when I read these kinds of messages. "I've got this really
old thing, that I want to use with the latest whatever. But I don't want
to upgrade my old thing, just screw on some sort of adapter so it will work
with the new gadget." And I always wonder, why? A full system upgrade is
usually pretty painless, and probably a whole less time consuming than
modifying an old cassette player for CDs.

I never did it, but it certainly is possible. You can install the new
glibc libraries, and they will coexist with the old ones no problem.
