 Yes you can have multiple versions of the glibc libraries on your system.
For example RedHat 7.1 has glibc 2.2 and glibc 2.1 for the reason you
mention.
 To be able to use the glibc 2.1 lib in RH 7.1 you have to run the
following script to set some Enviroment variables:
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
