I think they should work - try it.  If you are not using a 2.4 kernel edit 
/etc/vga/libvga.config to NoHelper instead of Helper.  My version of 
links2 was compiled dynamically against glibc 2.2.5, so you need to copy 
into /lib some files from glibc 2.2.5 (all found in operalib.tgz which I 
posted for using with opera - libc, libm, libdl and ld-linux).

You also need to add /usr/lib/libz.so.* (BL3 may have it already) and 
/lib/libbz2.so.1.0.0 (/usr/lib/libbz2.so is symlinked to it) from any 
Slackware (bzip2 or elflibs package - 71K in Slackware 7.1).  I included 
the required libpng12 in the svgalib package that I compiled for glibc 
2.2.5.

*****IMPORTANT*******
Run ldconfig if you add libraries without running pkg or installpkg, 
to make the required symlinks.
*********************

I could have compiled links2 without bzip2 and zlib but I thought they 
would be useful (for compression or uncompression).
