The new tools won't work with old style raid, right?

There is a translucent.c and also a translucent.c.orig. So my
predecessor must have applied _some_ patch. And there is also
/usr/src/raid0145-990824-2.2.11, so I must now assume I have new style
raid.
Can anybody please post an example how /proc/mdstat looks for old
style raid? My /proc/mdstat looks like the new style RAID /proc/mdstat
I know from my own RAID systems. Is there any difference to old style
RAID?
