Not stupid, but dealing with libraries is described in the FAQs.

Strange... yes. But true.

It isn't the libs fault, but the compiler's.
You need a compiler that is compiled to expect the older libs. In my
opinion this is way more difficult than it should be, but the path of
least resistance is to keep an older compilation environment around... an
old box, or an emulation environment like User Mode Linux (UML) or VMWare.
