[ 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.
