Not quite. My experience is as follows:

1). I can compile GCL on systems with glibc 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
2). Compilation on glibc 2.2.4 fails.
3). Binaries compiled on glibc 2.2.3 run on glibc 2.2.4 without
     any trouble.

At present I'm desperately running out of my spare time but I'll try
to do some tetsts a 2-3 days later. Sorry :(
