Please note, the 9.0.152 version of flash-plugin is an old one and as a
lot of security problems!
Flash-plugin is not open source and the only one who can fix it is Adobe.
n.b.: Adobe still offers security-updates for version 9 of the flash-plugin,
see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html. Current version is 9.0.280
(07/2010).

Would it work if Vivek built the appropriate libraries from
SL5.5 on his 4.x machine ?
I can see that multiple libc.so.6 libraries (from glibc) will be
hard, but perhaps not impossible.
Just wrapping 9.0.280 into an rpm might be a _much_ less painful alternative
(last one I tried was 9.0.277, didn't notice any problems under SL4.5).
Regards, Frank.
Here's a spec file that works pretty good.
