Hi,
I have Redhat 6.2 system working with performer 2.3 and also 2.4. That
has glibs 2.1 and it is pretty stable also. Don't go with RH 7.0 it is
known to be unstable. Also I am not sure if you are using C or C++. But
your incompatibilty problems may not be due to glibc but libstdc++. I
think there is a slashdot article on this and here is a similar post I dug
up and how he solved it...may not work for you...but give it a try.

Also using -lc might help.
Or there have been reports of people using -O and the problem getting
solved. Your mileage may vary.
Also try directly linking libc.a, it is a static lib. So you have to link
the whole thing in.
Good luck,
Bye,
