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.
