I have the same problem as you -- a hosting environment with an old libc
-- and had the same problem with the binary distribution.  I think you
can do what you have suggested, but I haven't tried.  Instead I have
decided to build a static binary on a local computer and then put that
binary onto the host; maybe this is a solution for you too.
