Gentoo has been using safe versions (>= 2.18) of glibc even if you've
only been following the stable upgrade path since mid August 2014.

It's quite possible that other distros have been doing the same.
I'll try to remember and check my Mint box when I get home.

Or run "ldd --version" from the command line. Anything >= 2.18 should
be safe.
