For Red Hat distributions, I intend to use glibc static builds for 
the multipath-tools, same as for lvm2 & dmsetup.

I don't want the worry of having to support more than one libc.
(All tests have to be done twice then, for starters, and you lose
use of glibc features the other libraries don't support.)

So much is getting pushed into the initrd these days, that there's 
even the prospect of shared object support being added one day.
