When looking for RPM's from CentOS and similar distributions, or for RPM's that can be ported to CentOS and RHEL, http://rpm.pbone.net/ is your dear, dar friend.
That said, doing an in-place update to glibc-2.6.x is *begging* for pain. CentOS 6 will have glibc-2.12.x, and a set of compatibility libraries so older CentOS 5/RHEL 5 tools will work. And if you're in a rush, you could work with Fedora, which is noticeably ahead of CentOS and RHEL on most packages, but is not as industry tested and stable.

The signal to noise ratio of this list is getting quite horrible.
From the 2nd post (different thread) by the OP it's quite obvious he's looking for a package containing the file "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3".
He already got an answer to that "compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138".
What he didn't get was how you find that kind of information.

pbone.net is certainly _NOT_ the way to find a package for your CentOS-5. yum search/provides on the system itself is the way to go.
# yum provides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 ... compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386 : Compatibility 2.96-RH standard C++ : libraries Repo : base Matched from: Other : libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

If you have an RPM package with unmet dependencies, the way to install it is:
yum localinstall <packagename>
Yum will resolve the dependencies using the available repositories.
