I read glibc 2.3 is binary compatible with 2.2.5.. |

"The 2.3.x release should be binary compatible with the 2.2 and earlier |
| 19 |
releases. All correct programs should continue to run. This does |
| 20 |
*not* mean that programs compiled on a system running glibc 2.3.x will |
| 21 |
run on systems with only glibc 2.2. Compatibility is always in one |
| 22 |
direction. Systems with glibc 2.2 will not even attempt to run |
| 23 |
binaries generated with glibc 2.3.x if this is not possible so there |
| 24 |
is not much to worry about." |
