glibc can be a tricky thing to upgrade, if not done correctly it will render your computer non-functional and possibly require a re-install of the whole system, you will need a package made of glibc and run upgradepkg on it, do not uninstall the one you have now, and do not compile and make install this from source unless you can get a slackbuild for it as the older glibc would mostly be over written with some older file versions left behind (messy)...
good luck, and may the sourcecode be with you...
