>If you want to run binary on older system you have to use older libc. It's as simple as that.
Or you compile the binary for the old symbol with the new glibc, since glibc contains versioned symbols including all the old ones you can tell the linker exactly which version of the function that your binary wants to use. So while it is a real pain it can be done.

Can you do that if it's a binary you don't have source for?

Eg I've got a libc5 binary I would love to run, but it was a commercial product ...

Cheers,
