Actually I have not tried it yet.....

I am compiling/building in a clean chroot and it has 2.10 installed
there but one of my systems has 2.9-7 installed.  I didn't want to break
the system by installing packages built from the clean chroot w/2.10.

I will upgrade the glibc to 2.10 later after I am OK with it if it
happens to break something, as I need the system not to break until next
month. :) Then if it breaks it will be OK.
