Hmm...

on my box (RH 7.2 SMP), rpm -q --whatrequires glibc returns:

timeconfig-3.2.2-1
authconfig-4.1.19.2-1
ppp-2.4.1-3
kdenetwork-2.2.2-1
glibc-devel-2.2.4-30

There doesn't seem to be a kernel-live-module that requires glibc.

That also makes sense, IMHO. As it seems the kernel modules are statically
linked to allow a replacement of glibc to a newer version without grounding
the kernel.

Kernel gurus, input please?
