grep the binary for 2.2 and 2.3. If the file only contains 2.2,
it is for glibc 2.2. If 2.3 is in the file, it is very likely
to be for 2.3. Since the Slackware version is for 10.0, I
think it is for 2.3.

bochs is very good at hardware imitation, good enough to run almost
every operating system made for a PC.
