I have an older Arch-testing system in a virtual machine, which I don't 
think I can upgrade very easily, since it requires a newer glibc (has 
2.13-5 now) to upgrade a lot of the packages that have files in /lib

Also it asks me about a pacman update that also can't be done because of 
a glibc dependency.

I wonder if it be possible to upgrade Arch installed from the 
2011.08.19 release?
