Transfer shared library to another version of libc

I have a shared linux library (.so) compiled with a specific version of libc (GLIBC2.4) and I need to use it on a system with a different version of libc. I have no sources for the library, so I can not recompile the new system. Is there any way to change the dependencies in this library to another libc?

If you need .so on a system with old glibc, you will need the source code and recompile / reinstall it with the old glibc. An alternative is to install the required glibc on the old system in a non-standard location and configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the executable that needs this .so

If there is a newer glibc, this will usually not be a problem, since glibc tends to be backward compatible.

If your library really uses interfaces that have been changed (unlikely), you can simply specify version links in the resulting file .so. In any case, this is text.

It is best to compile the old version of glibc for your system and then build the application using this glibc and your shared library. Ugly though ...
