well, in fact i use the "cross compilers" generated by uClibc to compile
applications, but they aren't really cross compilers, but just a wrapper
to use the correct libs, so for what i've seen, changing the version of
the system's glibc influences on compile time (although i don't know if
the influence is direct or caused by the use of a uClibc compiled with
that lib)

my actual workaround is to manually install the "old" version of libc6
and libc6-dev, even if it breaks my system's dependencies, after each
upgrade... it's not the best way, but works ;)
