Well a major reason to rely on a distro with a well-stocked repo of 
binaries is that you can just use them, and other people have been 
banging on them and fixing them too.  The prebuilt stuff is all built 
against glibc so that's a strong reason to stick with that.

Dunno.  However I do know that there is a lot of politics at least in 
the past around glibc

... so it wouldn't surprise me if it's in the distro as a hedge on that 
as much as anything else.
