I tried to install different versions of glibc (debian) but in the end my system collapsed. I know there's a tool called Modules but that's not exactly what I'm looking for, I need to have software which depends on different versions of glibc to coexist.

Just to leave a trace :) I solved the problem successfully (until now) using Debian's pinning. Explained in section "8.2.1 Pinning releases with APT" of the book The Debian System - by Martin Krafft.

Basically, it consists in creating the file /etc/apt/preferences assigning priorities to a Package (libc in my case)

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 90
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 80

And modifying /etc/apt/sources.list

I highly recommend reading that section of the book ;)
