Glibc versions

[stan]

I am trying to build 2.6.0p1 on a Ubuntu machine. As far as I know this
machine is the latest version of Ubuntu. The configure script fails on the
check for glibc version 2.2.0 or newer. I am curious if this version of
glibc is so new that it would not be in the Ubuntu stable release yet?
