If I remember right S.u.S.E. 5.3 only
started shipping in September, up until
that time, they didn't install glibc.
It is good to know that they have both
libc5 and glibc installed, that was why
redhat released 5.1 immediatly after
5.0... they hadn't included both
libraries so a LOT of rpms were broken
on most
users systems. Beside a bunch of
errata, etc. I think that is the only
difference
in 5.0 to 5.1... libc5 is installed by
default along with glibc now.
All you have to do to get both glibc and
libc5 to work is to install them
both on a system. Programs dynamically
linked to the respective libraries will
just use those respective libraries.
