"We do that for kernel."  What?  Where do we ship a 2.4 version kernel
(and 2.2, and 2.0, etc.) in order to have FC work with applications
that don't run with 2.6?  The compat-gcc libraries are there, certainly,
but "we do it for glibc?"  compat-glibc wasn't included in even RedHat
9, so any old RedHat 6.x binaries using glibc2.1 are out of luck.
(Of course, forget about old libc5 stuff.)  RedHat 9 nuked compatibility
with anything pre-Redhat 7.x.
