There is a BL2 icewm and rxvt, Opera works equally well with libc5 and 
glibc based libX11, and I could not get xpdf to work with libc5, only 
libca6 (however the text-only parts of it worked once I figured out the 
fonts).

Will BL3 ldd recognize glibc-dependent libraries?

I have had similar problems where ls finds a library I added but ldd does 
not, in the proper directory.

I will be setting up a friend's 900MHz i810 Emachine with BL3 this month. 
I forget, is there an i810 X server for libc5 too, or a static one?  This 
machine has spare slots so a Trio64 card would be an easier solution than 
upgrading all the X libraries and rxvt and icewm.
