BL1  libc5   2.0.34   (same as Slackware 3.5)
BL2  glibc2  2.2.16   (same as Slackware 7.1)
BL3  libc5   2.2.16

BL3 is a mixture (there is no Slackware that matches it
exactly).

No.  The BL3 documentation says to use kernels and modules 
from Slackware 7.1.  That is correct.  It does not say to
use packages from Slackware 7.1.  The best Slackware to use
for packages is 4.0 (but it is not an exact match, so there 
is no guarantee every package will work).
