None of this.  First, you are really stupid installing this libc
version.  The warning in configure isn't there for fun.  It's not only
about the locale suff, other changes (including the db stuff) is
included.

Second, db/db2 will be removed from glibc soon.  Then you can do
whatever you want.  I for myself will probably stay with 2.4.
