xpdf 3.1 at the foolabs site is statically compiled against libc2.2
ELF

Is there any way to use xpdf 3.1 precompiled with a different 
libX11.so.6.1 from all the other programs in BL3.40?  I think I did 
something of the sort when starting netpbm in BL2, compiled for BL3, where 
there were two versions of libpng or something, libc6 and libc5, and I had 
to point it at libc5.  And start xpdf straight from Xvesa without icewm or 
xinit (which use libc X libraries)?

I don't have a choice of what format people choose to send me or post 
online.  I would need the latest xpdf 3.1 (3.0 is okay too).
