[CMake] Link to local glibc

[Michele Portolan]

At the end of the day, here is what I did:

  1) create a development Centos 5.5 machine

  2) on the dev machine, I compiled gcc 4.9.3 from sources, installed it 
locally and updated the build system (cmake, etc..) with only local 
builds, if possible from source. By exploiting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I link 
to the glibc et al. in the gcc 4.9.3 installation path

  3) I run Cmake on the dev machine, to obtain the executables and libraries

  4) I prepare a distribution with the Cmake-built exe and libs, and in 
case of dynamic linking, the dependecies found by ldd

  5) I unpack the distribution on my target Cento0S 5.5 machine and run 
the execs, if needed using LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the local libs


Quite the workaround, but it works better than manually handling all 
glibc dependencies!
