probably have to change it to a blocker of some sort

not really anything we can do here. gcc-4.3.x fails to build with <glibc-2.8, and glibc-2.11 requires >=gcc-4.3.x. so if you currently have gcc-3.4.x and glibc-2.6, you cant build either. you'd have to manually upgrade your glibc to something like glibc-2.9, upgrade your gcc to the latest, and then upgrade glibc to the latest. just grab a binary from the tinderbox system to ease the pain.
