They are using glibc 2.2.3. The problem is that there were some massive header cleanups. The software that doesn't compile doesn't compile because it was using "private" interfaces to the glibc library. It is really the fault of the software maintainers. In most cases, it is fairly trivial to patch the code if you know anything about C.
