Yes. But the requirement for SW91 solibs defeats the whole
purpose of mixing the two versions. It would be better to use
both SW91 solibs and glibc, as the SW91 glibc is much
smaller.

I guess so. I installed the two libraries in the opposite order: SW71
glibc first, then SW91 solibs.

glibc-2.3 full glibc is much smaller than glibc-2.1 full glibc.
