I compiled for BL2 (glibc-2.2.5) svp, which is a very small (27K) and fast 
pdf reader based on svgalib and ghostscript.  You would need to add glibc 
from SW8.1 or SW9.0 and also libvga.so.1 to use my version, or you may 
attempt to compile your svgalib and svp for libc5.  (I posted a generic 
glibc 2.2.5 libvga.so.1.9.25 and several for specific cards.  The i810 is 
not yet working for me).

svp - SVgaPdf reader?

You can also view pdf files directly with ghostscript using X or svgalib, 
through Slackware 7 gs.  After that only with X.
