Is Suse 5.3 a libc5 system, or libc6? I've seen this behavior when
statically linking a binary under a libc6 system, then when trying to run
it under a libc5 sys all DNS name lookups fail. Taking this a step
further, GTK does some sort of user id lookup when it gets initialized -
the getpwname_r() call also fails when going from a lib6 static build to a
libc5 system.

Installing abiword on my ancient libc5 linux system, I get:

topquark [129]>abiword
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for topquark

No resolution that I know of, other than to produce a static libc5 build
and a static libc6 build - anyone else have any more info?
