Sure you can!  I've done it hundreds of times. ;-)
You can even build binutils.  But you can't
build gcc, and any application that depends
on certain subtleties of signal behavior will be 
betrayed by the discrepancy between the
HardHat glibc and the 2.2-3-4 kernels.

So I too am eagerly looking forward to 
a 6.0 or 7.0 based solution - provided that
the glibc disconnects are fixed as well.
