As someone else commented, you are playing with fire in a tinderbox.

upgrading glibc improperly will render your system 100% broken.  i'd 
strongly urge you not to screw with RPMs for glibc unless you don't care 
about spending alot of time trying to recover.

See the SxS for glibc for a far safer method of upgrading glibc.

Also, i don't understand why you're having problems with gtk-gnutella. 
I use it all the time, and it works perfectly.
