[SOLVED] How to ignore glibc dependecy when I want to keep old glibc?

I'm porting Arch Linux to sh4 CPU.
But, at current stage, I want to use glibc,kernel of original distrubition's packages.
So, is there any method to let pacman ignore it? I've tried IgnorePkg setting on /etc/pacman.conf, but failed.

 $ sudo pacman -U pacman-4.0.3-5-sh4.pkg.tar.xz

Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]

You can create a dummy package. Just run makepkg on this:

pkgname=glibc
pkgver=2.17
pkgrel=3
arch=('any')
