#Always use unstable version if there is one
sys-libs/glibc ~amd64

#Use unstable 2.7-r2 until a later version gets stable
=sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r2 ~amd64

Much depends on how you want to have things, but you should avoid using

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge something

This will cause problems for you when you have to do something like
revdep-rebuild, as the system can't build the packages, and the same if you
use --deep when you emerge.

If you want to use unstable, then better switch to unstable, see make.conf.example
