strange dynamic linking

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>]

I happened to copy the libc5 badblocks binaries onto my libc6
system, for a project I'm working on, and for curiousity's sake,
ran ldd on it;

[10:12am] root@hamishpc:DLX.lilo/rd-tree/bin# ldd ./badblocks
        libext2fs.so.2 => /lib/libext2fs.so.2 (0x4000b000)
        libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x4001b000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4001d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400d9000)
        ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40178000)

Two versions of libc? Looking at the individual libraries,

[10:12am] root@hamishpc:DLX.lilo/rd-tree/bin# ldd /lib/libext2fs.so.2
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40013000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)
        libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x400b2000)
[10:19am] root@hamishpc:DLX.lilo/rd-tree/bin# ldd /lib/libcom_err.so.2
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40005000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)

Is this a bug in something?
