The problem is that linking a program with both libc6 and librarys linked
with libc5 will produce problems. Programs that are linked this way
should have bugs filed against them if they haven't been already. Yes you
need to purge and reconstruct your development environment, but it isn't
impossible or even difficult to live with both c librarys.
