CentOS - Dec 2010 - happy new year :D i have a problem to upgrade my glibc to 2.7 on centos 5.5

Happy new year :D

i have just installed centos 5.5 on my vmware to test my server,i found that
i need nasm x64 to compile my assembly code,the yum database only has 0.98
version which does not support 64bit.

the nasm version 2(rpm from offcial site) requires glibc 2.7, i know its a
core component, but is there a way to upgrade it without break system? 

thanks for your time :D

Build the src.rpm on your own system using "rpm --rebuild".  The
results
won't require glibc 2.7.

Thanks for your time and help Gordon.
I rebuild it on centos 5.5, it works like a charm :D

Step1:download nasm src.rpm from official site
Step2:install ghostscript/texinfo from yum
Step3:rpm -I --momd5 nasm src.rpm
Step4:rpmbuild -bb nasm.spec

I also want glibc 2.7 for a particular application to run. The first step
mentioned is :
Step1:download nasm src.rpm from official site

I did not understand what will this rpm do? I mean is that a substitute for
glibc 2.7?

Nasm was the rpm that required glibc 2.7. He rebuilt the source rpm
against the glibc version Centos 5 uses. His steps will not help you
to upgrade glibc. Is there a reason you can't just build your
application against the glibc in CentOS?

I have a executable and when i run it then the error comes:

/lib64/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.7' not found

I don't have the source code of the executable. And I can't find glibc
2.7
for centos 5.5.

if you did, you'd likely break all kinds of stuff.   that application is 
linked for a different linux distribution, it is not built for EL5.

Linux has very poor binary compatability.
