I have done this about a month ago (upgraded Slackware-3.6 to glibc-2.1)
and I'm now writting this message on this system. 

You should read instructions from glibc-2.1 source archive. However be
prepared to met more incompatibilities as mentioened there: I rebuild
egcs, ncurses, X11 (I met incompatibilities when tried to use X11 static
libraries from glibc2 binary archives), Qt, KDE-1.1 and many many other things.

Now I have working system (however I haven't rebuilt all)
