If this shows that you have libc.so.6 there, then you have glibc.
If it shows libc.so.5, then you have the old libc5.
If it shows libc.so.4 then you have a very old a.out system.
If it shows more than one of the above, then your system is likely to be
capable of running applications linked to any of these libraries (although
there are some qualifications to add to this statement, and it is possible
to put legacy libraries in places other than /lib/).
Note that the real story is a lot more complex than this (eg, what libc
version are the X lib libraries linked against?)
