Why won't glibc be maintained also on older versions of Debain ?
Yes. If you're planning on running your programs on Debian 11, compile on Debian 11. Debian guarantees ABI/API stability for "stable" releases to ensure production code does not break. More on reddit.com

Linux static builds broken on Debian Bookworm
While Ubuntu 22.04 ships with glibc 2.35, Ubuntu 24.04 uses glibc 2.39 (source). Glibc is backward-compatible, but not forward-compatible.

r/debian on Reddit: Why won't glibc be maintained also on older versions of Debain ?
February 28, 2024 -

I've updated to Debian 12 and found out that programs that I compile won't work on Debian 11, because the Glibc version on Debian 11 lag behind.
Is it intentional that in older versions of Debian the glibc isn't get updated ?
Glibc is a cruical part for compatability, and the fact that it is only backwards compatible means that the moment a developer update to the latest version of linux and compile its binaries, his program become obsolete for older versions of debian.

I was able to install libc6 2.17 in Debian Wheezy by editing the recommendations in perror's answer:

IMPORTANT

You need to exit out of your display manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1. Then you can stop x (slim) with sudo /etc/init.d/slim stop

(replace slim with mdm or lightdm or whatever)

Add the following line to the file /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main

Should be changed to:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main

Then follow the rest of perror's post:

Update your package database:

apt-get update

Install the glibc package:

apt-get -t sid install libc6-amd64 libc6-dev libc6-dbg

IMPORTANT

After updating libc6, restart the computer, and you should comment out or remove the sid source you just added (deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main), or else you risk upgrading your whole distro to sid.

Your script contains errors as well, for example if you have dos2unix installed your install works but if you don't like I did then it will fail with dependency issues.

I found this by accident as I was making a script file of this to give to my friend who is new to Linux and because I made the scripts on windows I directed him to install it, at the time I did not have dos2unix installed thus I got errors.

here is a copy of the script I made for your solution but have dos2unix installed.

#!/bin/sh
echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get -t sid install libc6 libc6-dev libc6-dbg
echo "Please remember to hash out sid main from your sources list. /etc/apt/sources.list"

this script has been tested on 3 machines with no errors.
