Shouldn't gvim or ruby-1.9 have pulled in the newer glibc 2.14 ?

/lib/libc.so.6 is owned by glibc 2.13-5
~$ pacman -Ss glibc
core/glibc 2.14-4 (base) [installed: 2.13-5]
    GNU C Library

Should i file a bug?

To fix that, do i simply upgrade gllibc? Because if i do, it may break a bunch of things, no?

You should just "pacman -Syu" as usual. It's much safer to upgrade everything here than to take it in pieces. The packagers test and plan for full upgrades - who knows if partials will work?

To answer the first question, versioned dependencies (which would be needed for the glibc to be automatically upgraded) aren't normally used on Arch packages, mostly because you're expected to just upgrade everything anyway.

Even though apparently it does not directly depends on glibc, i am noticing that the other dependencies are not version-specific. That is what you meant, right?

Thanks

Always do a full update when you refresh your package database.   We package assuming a fully up to date system.
