There are two version of netscape that you can download. One is for the
glibc and the other is for the old library. There are three packages
that need to be added to restore the libc5
xlib6
xpm4.7
libc5
In my case, I downloaded the version that goes with the slink netscape4
installer. This is the glibc version and it installs without a hitch.
By adding the above three packages, it did restore my wp8 which I does
only work with the libc5 libs.
Give this a try and see if it fixes it.
