You usually don't. Some older RedHat releases had various "compat-*" library
packages, but is there a reason you can't recompile that one software
package?

Alternatively, you can compile the alternative glibc by hand from tarball,
put it in an "/opt" or other separate location so other programs don't find
it, and use "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in a wrapper with your old application to tell
it to look for the old glibc's. But this can fail, for a number of reasons
involving finding the correct versions of other libraries built with the
newer glibc.....
