Just in case this is still of interest:
Jessie's glibc has 2.6.32 hardcoded (i.e. not just a debian dependency) as a minimum requirement. So if you want to run a Jessie glibc on top of Maemo's 2.6.28 kernel you need to patch and recompile the glibc sources. [1]
The result apparently works but since I have done only very basic testing in Easy Debian I can't tell if there are any subtle problems I just didn't see.
