no, stable libc5 includes libc5-compat directory. In fact, stable libc5 is of later version that the one in unstable for whatever reason. I do have to retract my suggestion to install ldso from unstable, as downgrading back may cause a multitude of problems. I just checked, and xpm4.7 (one of the libraries reported not to load) is symlinked to bo in hamm, and hasn't been updated for a while (since march 20), so my guess that this is the problem with altdev packages is clearly wrong and upgrading to new ldso shouldn't be needed.
