This only works on Linux of course since the Linux kernel and libc are not tightly coupled, on any other OS dynamically linking against libc is a necessity. Also, I've never seen anyone statically linking against glibc? Is that even something people do? I'd consider your system provided libc being broken is a similar situation to an unbootable kernel: you just need a rescue stick/partition to fix it, or reinstall your OS.
