Regarding the binaries: what you are interested in is whether the version of glibc they were linked against is available on your Gentoo box. You can check this by running ldd on it. I suspect if they run on RH8, they will be okay with a Gentoo system. As to "corrupting" something, I doubt it. One of the benefits of a UNIX-like platform is the separation of processes. It is very hard for code malfunctioning due to corruption/binary incompatability to damage anything but it's own memory space; the moment it tries to do anything else, the kernel will kill it. -- Bruce J.A.
