What is the approved way to do this? |

When I tried to install an old version of glibc from a binary, I got the |
| 32 |
error: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The error was |
| 35 |
* Sanity check to keep you from breaking your system: |
| 36 |
* Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction |
| 37 |
* |
| 38 |
* ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1 failed. |
| 39 |
* Call stack: |
| 40 |
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup |
| 41 |
* environment, line 3275: Called die |
| 42 |
* The specific snippet of code: |
| 43 |
* die "aborting to save your system"; |
| 44 |
* The die message: |
| 45 |
* aborting to save your system |
| 46 |
* |
| 47 |
* If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if |
| 48 |
relevant. |
| 49 |
* A complete build log is located |

* The ebuild environment file is located |
| 52 |
at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1/temp/environment'. |

The error message |
| 55 |
"Downgrading glibc is not supported and is a sure way to destruction" |
| 56 |
makes me think that going back would not be such a good idea. |
