Huh..., we said "old distro", not "positively ancient" :-)

libc5 was replaced by glibc 2.0 back in 1998 or 1999. I was using Linux 2.0 at 
the time. I doubt it even compiles these days on modern kernels, though it may 
run.

No, we're talking about simply old, a couple of years at most.

Another option is an LSB build of Qt.
