I've got a Redhat 4.1 system with lots of random upgrades. All the
Blackdown JDKs that distributed their own libraries have worked out of
the box for me, including jdk 1.1.6v4a. I seem to have the same
library versions that the JDK distributes, maybe that's why there's no
problem.

libc.so.5.3.12

libdl.so.1.7.14
> 3) Whether you had to remove libc and libdl to make Java work for you
nope.
