If you install glibc-2.1, then I think you need to rebuild libstdc++, yes.

I would think you could build glibc, run its internal tests (make check)
before taking the plunge and installing it.

Once it's installed?  No idea how to recover.    Presumably there's some
statically linked programs in /sbin that you can use to put humpty dumpty
back together again.
