I am sorry to say, but you are wrong. Even on this list there were
several postings regarding this matter. There are several known
problems and who knows how many unknown. You just can't afford to
experiment with "production" system this way. Anyway, I could take some
burden on myself to compile libc5 counterparts, but on my 486DX2/66 with
2k/sec connection it would take years.
