I am attempting to compile some programs on a Red Hat server that were

My current server has the following configuration:

Cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6)

rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-95.37

Is there a way I can compile my programs using the older glibc 2.2.2-10
libraries?

Dunno.

Is it possible/relalistic to expect that I could temporarily
'downgrade' the glibc libraries so I can compile these programs, and
then re-install the glibc-2.3.2-95.37 libraries.

Not a chance. You wouldn't get very far and applications would crash
all over the place before you had a chance to finish even the compile
(both rpm and gcc rely on glibc).
