I serioulsy suggest that you downgrade to your OS's latest supported glibc,
unless there is a specific reason you need a later one. Building glibc from
source is not for amateurs.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "the Debian approach". If you want to
stay on the cutting edge, you can run the "unstable" version of debian, which
is about as up to date as you can possibly be.
