Is there any way of installing another set of glibc libs on centos 5, to allow an old, broken, but uselful program to run?
Depends which older version you need; the compat-glibc package provides binary compatibility with the n-1 distro:
$ yum info compat-glibc [....] Summary: Compatibility C library Description: This package contains stub shared libraries and static libraries from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. To compile and link against these compatibility libraries, use gcc34 -I /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux4E/include \ -B /usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux4E/lib/
