To see which libs you *have* on the system, you can look in /lib . I forget
it glibc will show there as glibc.so or as libc.so.6, but look for either.
libc5 will show up as libc.so.5.xx, where xx will be a version number.
Unfortunately, finding a library there is not the same as knowing that the
kernel uses it. My distribution of choice, Slackware, for example, now ships
with glibc available, but the kernel still uses libc5. And ldd doesn't seem
to work on compressed kernel images.
