You've got to use the corresponding ld-linux.so.  You can do:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/glibc-2.0.94/lib \
/usr/local/glibc-2.0.94/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/bin/ls
Or link ls directly with the right dynamic linker
(-Wl,--dynamic-linker=<path-to-ld-linux.so.2>).

You don't need the localedata add-on, localedata is now part of glibc
2.1.  The rest is ok.
