[ale] Back-compatible libs question

[Chris Fowler]

2 Things:

1 Download libc5 source and compile.

2 or create a link that looks like this.
  /lib/libc.so.5 -> /lib/libc.so.6

It may or maynot work.  Ususlly I've had success.  But some functions may
not be backwards compatible or they
may have been modified that makes them incompatible or product undesirable
results.

ALErs -

I have some apps which require the old 'libc.so.5' to run, and there is a
back-compatible library installed on my RH6.2 installation which is:
  /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.3.12

Is there such a beast I could install on a RH7.2 box for which the native
libc is:
  /lib/libc.so.6 -> /lib/libc-2.2.4.so ?

TIA -
 John Mills
