I don't think so. For RHEL (and clones thereof) the latest release (5)
has glibc 2.5, and RHEL4 is still in somewhat widespread use, with
glibc 2.3. For SLES, the latest release (11) might have a new enough
glibc, but at least SLES10 is stuck with 2.4.
(If I were in the business of providing binary builds, I'd setup a
CentOS 4 virtual machine; RHEL/CentOS 3 is still around, but end of
life is only 6 months away, so I wouldn't bother with that.)
