It is doable, but you need to use FC4 dynamic linker as well, so run it as /whatever/dir/ld-2.3.*.so --library-path /whatever/dir/ \ /whatever/dir/the_program arguments and grab all the libraries the program is using into /whatever/dir/ from FC4, not just glibc. If it say uses X libs, then you need to unpack X shared libraries there etc. The reason is that (almost) all shared libraries in FC5 require things that LinuxThreads does not provide (mainly -fstack-protector support).
