You can't install rpms built for FC1 on RH7.3.

The exact same result? libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) missing?

That won't work. You need to get an rpm built for RH7.3.

Rule of thumb is that rpms built for a newer version of RH/FC will not 
work on older versions. Sometimes, it's possible to rebuild the .src.rpm 
on the older operating system.
