tracking that kind of information is a waste of time imo.  the issue you refer 
to is highly arch specific, so you'd then have to have a matrix correlating 
three things.  and it's certainly probable that you'd start including gcc as 
well.  sounds like matrices on the order of why i didnt pursue a mathematics 
degree ...

google for the glibc error and find a patch
