→Build and test glibc
# Obtain the source code for glibc via git using the instructions at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Testing/Builds
# Build and test your version of glibc. '''Do Not''' install it into the system directories or you may destroy the existing Linux installation!
# Blog about your results. Provide convincing proof that you can test the specific version of glibc which you built -- for example, by intentionally creating a bug, and proving that that bug exists in the version you're testing. Explain override and multiarch mechanisms (don't just google "override" and "multiarch", because these have different meanings in different contexts).
