If you can recompile/relink your software with glibc, that might be
better in the long run, but yes, glibc and libc5 can coexist. You don't
want to mix them in the same run unit, but ld.so will try to see that
you don't. Normally, an install for a libc/glibc will set it as the
primary program development library for your system, so it's easiest to
install the one you want for this last. there is a Glibc howto that
describes at least one setup to be able to compile programs with either
libc.
You can use ldd to tell you which libc a program uses. To find which
one is being used for program development, I would write a "Hello,
world" program, link it and use ldd on it. :-)
