Not possible if building from source unless you have a fast system. The
build can take anywhere from two hours to 15+ hours.

Make sure you have gmake>=3.79 and GCC 3.2 or higher. You also need
binutils and gettext libraries.
Go into extracted glibc source directory
extract the glibc-linuxthreads tar ball
cd ..
make a directory .. mkdir glibc-build
cd glibc-build
../glibc-2.*/configure --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads
gmake
when done .. install to separate directory for testing so you don't kill
your system:
gmake install install_root=/your/path/to/glibc-installed
gmake localedata/install-locales install_root=/your/path/to/glibc-installed
When all is tested, copy that (preserving permissions) over /
Good luck.
