How do I replace system glibc with this? using yay to install this gives an irresolvable package, deleting and replacing breaks the system preventing any further updates unless you go into a live environment and run pacstrap again. It successfully builds from the PKGBUILD but it won't install due to the aformentioned conflict.

Even though I see 'export' commands for gcc and g++ in specific areas, the build will not run for me (using Clang by default) unless I add the gcc and g++ export commands towards the top of the PKGBUILD file.

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
export CXX=/usr/bin/g++

I used glibc-eac from here just now, not from Garuda Linux one--Insurgency Sandstorm works! I did not know about glibc-dthash, but nice to know! Is it my understanding that the glibc-dthash would have simply updated the base glibc to function as this one? Thanks to xiota, Eric-dev and MacTavishAO!

Updated. Sorry for the delay. There was an issue with my email client.

@bmirtsching The jump from 2.39 to 2.40 is a minor update, so the risk is lower. If there was a major downgrade that could be bad (e.g. version 3.X to version 2.X). Most software follows these guidelines for versions: https://semver.org/

I reverted back to 2.40 and I could not play insurgency sandstorm. Then I reinstalled this AUR package and I could play again.

If you are truly concerned, research the applications you care about and see if they have a glibc dependency. 2.40 is pretty new according to these release notes, so it is unlikely many of your applications will depend on 2.40. If many of your applications / libs have a min dependency of (>=2.40) for glibc, then downgrading would break it.
