Sorry, one other item of interest I should have added to earlier post
on [details of how to get] was that 4.7 as opposed to 4.51 only requires
the current slink glibc-2.0 libraries! Note the following:
p1 $ ./netscape.old --version
Netscape 4.51/Export, 27-Feb-99; (c) 1995-1998 Netscape Communications Corp.
p1 $ ldd ./netscape.old

This is really good news at cleaning up some of the old libraries:
I could get rid of oldlibs/libc5, oldlibs/libg++27, and oldlibs/xlib6.
