FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
jdk1.5.0 Beta2

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux 2.6.6 i686

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4783716 May 26 2001 /lib/libc-2.2.3.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 27 2002 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.3.so


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Unable to get a working JDK, since the package "installer" uses a more recent
libc than we and our customers have. We always get the error

jdk1.5.0/bin/unpack200: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.2.4' not found (required by jdk1.5.0/bin/unpack200)


Since it is unacceptable to replace libc-2.2.3 with a recent one just to run a new
java release (customers will never agree with it), jdk should be linked at max.
with libc-2.2.3 ...

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Install Slackware 8.0 and try to install the JDK

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A working JDK
ACTUAL -
JDK can not be used since incomplete.
