Since libc 5.4.7 seems to be incompatible with so much current software, maybe it should be renamed libc 6.0. That would make it easier to keep around a copy of libc 5.2.18 for backwards compatibility, as is now being done for libc 4. Whether or not there it was intended that there be much new functionality in 5.4.7, it's clearly not acceptable as a drop-in replacement for 5.2.18.
