You might also consider having a hybrid system based on Redhat
4.2 with both libraries libc5 and libc6. Two approaches are
possible. I choose to compile the libraries from sources for
one of my Linux boxes and I am very pleased to have a system
which runs both types of applications and let me compile
either libc5 or libc6 based programs without messing with
Makefiles. I just rotate either LIBC6 or LIBC5 to the top of my
PATH and then 'make' my programs either way.

with the reference to detailed installation instructions
(not mine) and my own description of some other isuues related
to this newest "revolution" in Linux world.
