You need a version of gcc which supports libc-5 as a target platform.
Check in /usr/lib/gcc-lib. If gcc supports multiple platforms they
will be listed there. E.g., if you have:
drwxrwxr-x 5 glynn root 1024 Mar 8 18:21 i586-pc-linux-gnu
drwxrwxr-x 5 root root 1024 Mar 8 19:45 i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1
then you can compile for libc-5 using
gcc -b i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 ...
Note that some distributions change the target names.
If there is only a single subdirectory, then your version of gcc only
supports libc-6.
