No, that's not the same. The difference is exactly that you used apt to _replace_ glibc with another version. As the two versions were ABI compatible, that is the default action (that way old applications can use newer libs without explicitly knowing about them)...

Is it possible?
Yes, I already said how in my previous post See dpkg --inst and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but be aware that you are mixing gcc versions, compiler switches, cpu options, etc.
