Yum won't install SDK

I tried installing the OLPC SDK on my FC4 system with yum, 
according to the instructions I found via the olpc wiki
(http://pe
ople.redhat.com/berrange/olpc/sdk/)

Yum aborts the install when it determines that I don't have
the right
version of glibc:

Error: Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by
package vde

I have the latest glibc available for FC4 from Red Hat -
glibc-2.3.6.

I'm afraid to install a new version of glibc since I
suspect almost all
of the software on my system depends on it, and I don't
want to risk
breaking my system. 

Nor do I wish to upgrade to FC5. If FC5 is required, then
the 
instructions I found through the wiki should not say that
the SDK is
designed for installation on FC4.

I don't see any way to force yum to install vde rpm,
looking at the yum
man page.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be
appreciated.

sounds like a wiki entry; if I try to install this stuff,
and succeed, I 
will try to write one up.
