upstream vendor any longer. If you absolutely need that old version of
glibc then using CentOS 4.x (updated) will still give you glibc-2.3.4.

All these are newer. I'm not certain I understand the requirement for
glibc 2.3? You mentioned a bootloader but that is usually quite
separate from glibc and other applications.
