are you upgrading for a particular reason ( like a new feature) or to just have the latest glibc? really, you should leave the one you have alone, since to do it the correct way you cannot just plug a new glibc in and be done.

****NOTE: messing around with glibc can break your system, there is no guarantee your system will work or even boot after installing this. if you have valuable info, make sure you back it up*****

you can force the upgrade by passing --force to the rpm command you were using. are these glibc rpm's for your distro? if you compile software you may experience some problems compiling if you don't have the matching kernel-headers that this glibc was compiled against.
