Wouldn't glibc be where you would get the most benefits from
optimization anyway? I'm not convinced you would gain a lot from a
kernel.
btw - a generic kernel can be a real lifesaver. Your cpu or mobo fries,
you can put the hard disk in another machine and boot it - kudzu will
(theoretically, and in my experience it worked) take care of everything
for you as far as change in chiset/nics/whatever, but the kernel has to
be able to boot the box before kudzu can run :)
