[ squint... ] This isn't totally clear, but are you saying you compiled
on some semi-recent Red Hat platform and are trying to run the resulting
executables on an old SUSE platform? I wouldn't really expect that to
work. glibc's API changes from time to time. Would be better to
compile on the same release you're planning to run on.
