I don't believe libc5 was ever supported on ARM Linux, you would have to
port it.  It went from libc4 to libc6 for ARM Linux.

As to it's status of development: it is dead.  No one is actively
supporting (aside from a few legacy systems perhaphs).

Have you tried just using the linuxthreads part from glibc?  It will most
likely involve some work.
