It's looking for a newer version of glibc, not older (newer glibc versions
are generally backwards-compatible). It looks like your
libgssapi_krb5.so is incorrect for your machine as it seems to want a
newer glibc than the rest of your libraries. See if the command:
  rpm -V `rpm -qf /usr/kerberos/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so`
gives you any errors.

glibc version is not related to kernel version (except that each glibc has
a minimum kernel version requirement).

I'll bet you have the wrong krb5-devel package.
