Probably, I don't know about Solaris.

Well, if I'm not mistaken then a real 2.0.7 was never released. There
are just snapshots - and you need a recent one. Both Debian 2.x and
Redhat 5.x (x > 1 perhaps? I don't use Redhat) have a glibc 2.0.7 that
is recent enough. Yes, this is a strange situation. It looks like the
glibc development team is concentrating on glibc 2.1 and 2.0.7 is
in limbo - AFAIAC they should just release the current 2.0.7 as the
real 2.0.7 and be done with it. Oh well - wrong list I suppose :)
