Red Hat eight? Ahem. Well, there are a few issues here.
The current versions of glibc must be compiled when you are running a 2.6 kernel. If you're using RH8, you're running a 2.4 kernel. You will not be able to get glibc to successfully compile. (You can update the compiler, gcc, but not the library.)
With what you now have, you can indeed download, configure, compile, install and boot into a 2.6 kernel. You can do all of that with what you have now. Then you can update glibc. However you may find it more practical and easier to obtain a Fedora distribution that employs a 2.6 kernel, install it and proceed from there. It depends entirely upon your experience and comfort-level with Linux.
