Yes, definitely. There are many things fix in 2.1 which will not be
fixed in 2.0.
Plus: if you update your glibc 2.1 copy now you get a fix for your
problems. I came up with an kind of ugly fix for the problem.

2.1 will be released when
- Linux 2.2 is out
- and I have the latest ISO C 9x draft and made sure everything is
implemented.
I already stay away from waking big changes which are not really
needed for the release.
