The page at

	http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/SuSE-Linux-E-FAQ-4.html

says:

	Is SuSE Linux libc5 or glibc2 based?

	   S.u.S.E.  Linux <= 5.3 is a libc5 based distribution. 
	   S.u.S.E.  Linux 5.3 added support for glibc2 binaries, and
	   starting with SuSE Linux 6.0, SuSE made the move to glibc2.

I don't know what the difference between "add[ing] support for glibc2
binaries" and "[making] the move to glibc2" is; perhaps "adding support
for glibc2 binaries" means "adding a 'libc.so.6', but not providing any
way of building programs with glibc2" and "making the move to glibc2"
means "linking all binaries in the distribution with glibc2, and
making the compiler build programs with glibc2".

There's no "/usr/bin/ldd" on your system?  Is "ldd" something that only
showed up on Linux systems with glibc2?
