DL 1.3 uses Kernel 2.6 and all the latest libraries and tools.
Unfortunately Kernel 2.6 has a lot of security and is still heavily
modified. This is the reason why we don't use it.

You can try and build a DL with the glibc 2.3.4, but many other things may
break. Just replace the files and give it a try. Unfortunately we can't
support you much on this topic.

It would be great if you could report your findings, maybe we can include
some of them in DL 1.2.11.
