There are more than just those two packages that need to be upgraded.
Among the packages are:
- Kernel modutils 2.1.121 ; insmod -V
- Gnu C 2.7.2.3 ; gcc --version
- Binutils 2.8.1.0.23 ; ld -v
- Linux libc5 C Library 5.4.46 ; ls -l /lib/libc*
- Linux libc6 C Library 2.0.7pre6 ; ls -l /lib/libc*
- Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.9 ; ldd --version or ldd
-v
- Linux C++ Library 2.7.2.8 ; ls -l
/usr/lib/libg++.so.*
- Procps 2.0.3 ; ps --version
- Procinfo 16 ; procinfo -v
- Psmisc 17 ; pstree -V
- Net-tools 1.52 ; hostname -V
- Loadlin 1.6a
- Sh-utils 1.16 ; basename --v
- Autofs 3.1.3 ; automount --version
- NFS 2.2beta40 ; showmount --version
- Bash 1.14.7 ; bash -version
- Ncpfs 2.2.0 ; ncpmount -v
- Pcmcia-cs 3.0.14 ; cardmgr -V
- PPP 2.3.10 ; pppd --version
- Util-linux 2.9z ; chsh -v
- isdn4k-utils v3.1beta7 ; isdnctrl 2>&1|grep
version

I will leave the fondling to professionals such as yourself, but I can
speak from experience about upgrading RH5.2 to a 2.2 kernel. If
everything isn't up to the correct version, you can build it, but they
will not come.
