You could alternatively just build the latest from source on your own
system so that they don't pick up a dependency on the newer glibc,
either grabbing the rawhide SRPMS or the upstream source tarballs
(setools from tresys.com, the core SELinux userland from the sourceforge
CVS tree).  But if what you have is working, then you may not want to
risk moving to the bleeding edge ;)

Yes, we are working off the development tree aka rawhide which will
become FC5.  The rough schedule is over at
