No poor bet. Only you probably did not read the beginning of the
instructions mentioning to put up four compatibility packages. It of
course contains the glibc2.0.7 libraries in the same way as the libc5
package. The only problem is that there is no similar in debian.

Is there no glibc2.0 oldlib somewhere to use?

It should. It needs glibc2.1 and kernel 2.2 (and a lot of memory).
I saw it running on redhat. It was packaged or installed (I don't know how
it came up on that machine) very amateurly. It did not even contain the
jdbc driver in the java classpath.
