glibc (/lib/libc.so.6) to the older version.

Ugh that usually does not work in any sense. What I have done for
immediate needs is to build a virtual machine with an OS version that
the application is meant to work on. For a similar RPM environment I
would go with Fedora 13. Otherwise I would look at using the RHEL-6
beta and seeing if that allows you to get it working.
