Well, it's correct in the sence that it is happens to be true for most of
the Debian pre-compiled binaries of gcc. Basically, gcc-2.7.2.2 is by
default setup to create libc6 binaries. But it's easy to change
tehdefaults, and altgcc (Iguess that's a libc6 binary, but, I'm not sure),
creates libc5 binaries.

You do need to have a gcc that has the bugfix for libc6 (gcc-2.7.2.1
is too old for libc6).

The kernel is about the only thing on your hardisk that does not use
libs.
