You need to enable the "fastbugs" repo as it seems you have installed the 
glibc from that repo .  The "fastbugs" repo has  glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3 
and the "standard" repo has glibc-2.12-1.25.el6 .

    yum --enablerepo=fastbugs install gcc

This will enable the fastbugs repo which has the glibc versions that you 
have installed already.
