where is a safe place to install glibc??

[John Lumby]

  --- correct typo and mention something else ---

where I said
or /lib (where some ancestral libc.so lives).

I meant to say
or /usr/lib (where some ancestral libc.so lives).

Also - I noticed that this /usr/lib/libc.so is not actually a real libc at 
all - it is some kind of ascii comment-file:
its contents are:
/* GNU ld script
  Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
  the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )

I'm not quite sure what the reference to ld means, but I infer that this is 
a kind of symbolic-link-lib pointing whoever accesses it on to the glibc 
lib.so.6 and then to /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a?

My question is still - where should I install my upgrade?
