Can't you just install the required version of glibc [1] to build the drivers, or does that lead to other incompatibilities

Damn good idea.

  I'll investigate. In the past, mixing glibc versions was never a good idea, but so long as you can segregate the build environments, that may be a solution.

  But then we may run into a kernel-module/kernel glibc complaint? Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

There may be a much better solution, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=283327 Lone_Wolf
