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

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