You only need one file from there:

In addition, Seamonkey needs libstdc++.so.5 (the Slackware 9.0 version 
works) and Firefox was compiled to need libstdc++.so.6 (from SW11).  I 
think these are in cxxlibs package.

I have uploaded all three files to:

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/libgcc_s.so.1-SW11
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/libstdc++.so.5.0.2-SW90
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/libstdc++.so.6.0.3-SW11

Remove the -SW** and copy to /usr/lib then run ldconfig.

SW90 libraries need glibc 2.3.2, SW11 2.3.6.

To use sjphone softphone for VOIP, copy SW11 libX11.so.6.2 to 
/usr/X11/lib/ and run ldconfig.  I will upload that on request.
