You need a version of gcc that supports libc-6 as a target. Then, you
can use the -b switch, e.g. `gcc -b i586-pc-linux-gnu ...' to specify
which target you wish to compile for.
There's a guide to installing libc-6 on a libc-5 system, which
explains compiling gcc for use with both. Alternatively, you may be
able to find a pre-built gcc which supports both targets (you should
have both i586-pc-linux-gnu and i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 subdirectories
in /usr/lib/gcc-lib).

There's no point trying to preload the wrong library versions.
