Alright, I figured it out.  RPM couldn't do the upgrade because I was 
trying to upgrade glibc-common and glibc-2.2-12 separately.  RPM needs 
both updates to appear on the same line. So:

   rpm -Uvh glibc-common
   rpm -Uvh glibc-2.2-12

won't work.
but

   rpm -Uvh glibc-common glibc-2.2-12

will work, because RPM will find the dependencies it needs in both 
packages right then.

grrrrr...
