You mean glibc, not glib, but otherwise you're right.
(There is a glib, but it's something else entirely than glibc.
I used to get them mixed up, too.)

You're better off building it from source, I think.
Why trust binaries compiled by some random hacker in
Italy or Russia?  Seems like a rather insecure thing to do.
Better to only trust software from the original source...

I did some random googling, and found a page that includes
instructions on how to do that, as well as a link to a
prebuilt toolchain:

Have fun!
