I just installed ld.so-1.9.5-13 and libc-5.3.12-31 from RedHat 6.2 on a
RedHat 7.0 system and WP 8 seems to work fine. I suspect these are left
installed if you do an upgrade as opposed to a full install.
One interesting note: if you do a "ldd" on the the xwp executable before
installing these two rpms it just says:
/usr/bin/ldd: ./xwp: No such file or directory
which is a little confusing, since xwp does exist.
