No, that won't work.  You'll have to explicitly specify libc.so.5.2.18
or change your libc.so link to point to libc.so.5.2.18.  Also, which
libc headers are you using, you need to make sure you are using the
ones that come with 5.2.18.

I stated this before, but it bears repeating.  It's OK to experiment
with newer libc's on your own, but you should always use the current
Debian libc when you build Debian packages for distribution.
