I can't speak for Opera 7.21 (never tried it), but
recent binaries often specify glibc 2.2 or better
(BL2 has 2.1). Some even require 2.3.

I've installed glibc 2.2 on my own system (using two
Slackware 8.1 packages) in order to run Firebird 0.5
and xpdf 1.01. It went very smoothly:
----------------------------------------
installpkg glibc-solibs-2.2.5-i386-2.tgz
installpkg cxxlibs-6.2.1-i386-1.tgz
----------------------------------------

If you need glibc 2.3, you could probably do the same
thing with the equivalent Slackware 9 packages.

Cheers,
Steven
