Recompiling the same glibc version, but from upstream[1] instead of
Fedora should theoretically work. Although I agree replacing glibc is
not without risks.
You could try to install a libc at a separate path, there is surely a
way to do that, yet still cross-compile right.

Finally, the tone of several of your messages to this ml have been more
rude than needed. Please try to keep civility.
