Hm. libc6 hasn't changed /that/ much and is known to handle ABI
compatibility pretty well. I fear the other libs aren't as friendly.

The package system will try to prevent you doing that (for a good
reason), but you can talk it into doing it anyway.

Your best bet seems to be to download the package source and build
deps and re-build for bookworm (and see what breaks).

Not for the faint of heart, but not a research project either. What
are you trying to achieve?

Cheers
