To get the recompile effective you need to change the header include
file while rebuilding the library. This would be
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/types.h and
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/<your_cpu_type_here>/bits/types.h

I took a quick look at the glibc sources for RedHat 6.0
(glibc-2.1.1-7.srpm), and they looked a lot better than the earlier
version I looked at. Now it seems that only SUN RPC, NIS and the
resolver is dependent on the size of FD_SETSIZE. All other dependencies
seems to have been rewritten to use poll() and/or dynamic calculations
based on the arguments. The resolver dependent code is only a sanity
check in res_send.c which will trigger on high filedescriptors and can
be removed without any loss of functionality (will for sure be needed in
Squid 2.3).
