Hi Chenw,

The glibc-update should be an official redhat update, so just use 
up2date to get it (that's why you're paying for RHEL :-) ).

If you by some chance don't have a working up2date subscription, I would 
think that you could use the CentOS package to update glibc;

http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/glibc-common-2.3.4-2.19.i386.rpm

...of course, you'll probably want to update the other pertinent 
packages as well, to clear up the dependencies.

I believe this update may have been for the release of CentOS 4.3 (RHEL 
4U3), so a lot of other packages were updated at the same time.

As these updates should not break binary compatibility, I'd guess that 
you could just skip them. Issue a single 'rpm -i' line with all the Dag 
packages you want, and when you've tweaked it until only the OS packages 
remain, use --nodeps to hammer it in place.

No warranty of course, but a rpm -e should clean the packages back out.

Still - Good luck and have fun with this.
