upgrade from glibc 2.1.3 to 2.1.95

[Morgul Nazgul]

I was thinking about upgrading from glibc 2.1.3 to 2.1.95.  I'm using
slackware 7.0 and egcs 1.1.2 and kernel version 2.2.13.  Can I just
upgrade and everything should still work fine, or will I have to
re-compile everything else?  If this is not the appropriate version I
should be using, is 2.1.3 the latest stable version?  The reason I ask is
because I've noticed a couple distributions still use 2.1.3.  Thanks.
