http://keesan.freeshell.org/html/bl/operalib.tgz
contains static ldconfig and the 2.2.5 libraries needed by Opera.
Add icewm first to provide the X libraries needed by Opera.
Unpack my file and the QT static Opera .tar.gz on /
To run opera startx then cd /opera*, opera.  See instructions for use in
http://keesan.freeshell.org/blfiles
including an rxvt menu, and a modified inittab that boots 
directly to X with rxvt.

These libraries are not symlinks (the libc 2.2.5 so file is named 
libc.so.6) and installing regular glibc 2.2.5 or a later glibc will 
overwrite them.
