Honestly, I cannot give you a satisfying explanation, but

a) I came across this:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-570319-start-0.html

b) I was told the same years ago and never had issues.

c) until you re-emerge glibc nothing changes anyway.

d) your current glibc won't use new features, anyway (I guess)

e) and even then, forward/backward compatibility in kernel headers and
glibc are very good.

Florian Philipp
