Correct me if I'm wrong here...

Since all Slackware releases up to and including 3.6 are libc5.x.x based
and Red Hat since 5.0 uses glibc2.0.x.  Or, is glibc2.0.x backward
compatible with libc5.x.x, but not vice versa?  I have no first hand
knowledge trying to do this, but I've seen much discussion on libc5 vs.
glibc2, so that's why I ask the questions!

I'd say give it a try and let us know your results.
