Hi,
the pdfTeX from TeXlive 6b does not run under Linux 2.0/libc5:
# ldd pdftex (on a Suse 5.3 system)
        libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 => not found
        libm.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib/libm.so.6 (0x4001c000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib/libc.so.6 (0x40039000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

This could be easily fixed by distributing static binaries for pdf{e}TeX.

Best regards
    Martin
