Thank you for the quick response!

I'm not able to update the Kernel, so I have to use the old libc or
recompile it with the proper Kernel Version.

First try:
I had the old libc.so and ld-linux. So tryed to compile using the old libc.
Which wasn't successful... I got undefined reference errors because I don't
have the old libc headers any more.

Sec try:
I downloaded the old libc package from the ubuntu repository. But even the
older versions need the 2.6 Kernel. probably they updated it?! Crap...

The only way seems  to get the source and compile it. 
I got the sourcers of the glibc 2.4 which supports only nptl threads. I
don't care I'm not using threads at all. Got it compiled. I didn't got the
"Kernel to old" error on SUSE any more but something else beacuse of the
thraeds. And there is no way to compile glibc without threads support.

It looks like I have to try it with glibc 2.3...
