I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it's really not our job
to support distributions released over 10 years ago. One of the nice
things about git is that it makes maintaining local patchsets easy. If
you'd like to take on the responsibility of maintaining a light fork of
Xorg with libc5 support then I think people would be absolutely fine
with that.
