I guess extract is using an interface >= 2.2.3. I did a quick check of the rest of X as built on Red Hat 7.2 and didn't find a dependency for anything greater than 2.2. I'd guess that the same is true for the 4.2.0 bindist on XFree86.org, but I can't easily check that right now. Try 'extract' from the 4.1.0 binary distribution (which I think was built on Red Hat 7.0) -- it only shows the following GLIBC dependencies: GLIBC_2.1.3 GLIBC_2.1 GLIBC_2.0 If you need to build extract yourself, the source can be found at: ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.0/source/utils.tgz >Until someone changes extract to ignore patch number.

If you *don't* tweak the configuration, then it should build cleanly. Most people run into problems when they start tweaking the configuration.
