Not usable (yet) in BL3 even with libc.so.6 from a later Slackware.

Rosegarden requires libX11.so.6 and the BL3 libc5 version does not work.

xinit  (using the S3 server from SW71, that still has problems in Opera)
rosegarden
libX11.so.6:  undefined symbol:  _xstat

The 'static' xpdf also had undefined symbols.

Rosegarden also requires lib SM ICE Xaw Xext Xmu and Xt, some of which are 
dependent on the first two in this list.

Would someone knowledgeable want to try compiling a later X (source code 
from SW71 or later) for libc5?  This might also fix the problem with S3 
and SVGA servers and Opera black on black opening screen.

Or one could replace all of /lib/X11R6 with the BL2 versions, also icewm 
and xinit and rxvt, all of which require libc6 but so do Rosegarden and 
Opera.  Would libc5 versions be smaller?

I will use BL2 for my midi playing computer, since both the S3 server and 
Rosegarden work in it.
