no, stable libc5 includes libc5-compat directory. In fact, stable libc5 is of
later version that the one in unstable for whatever reason. I do have to
retract my suggestion to install ldso from unstable, as downgrading back may
cause a multitude of problems. I just checked, and xpm4.7 (one of the
libraries reported not to load) is symlinked to bo in hamm, and hasn't been
updated for a while (since march 20), so my guess that this is the problem with
altdev packages is clearly wrong and upgrading to new ldso shouldn't be needed.
HTH.
