That's an illusion. Many old programs in the Linux world were and
are written for Linux only. They compiled cleanly in the
environment they were written for. glibc 2.1 conforms to more
standards and breaks with old traditions (i.e. union semun).
Fix the programs and don't blame the library. For example, send
patches to the maintainer of the program.
