If you install something that was compiled for glibc 2.2 on a 2.4 glibc system then it will run..ie backwards compatible..but if you install something compiled for glibc 2.4 on a system with 2.2 installed..it most like will hiccup and not run right. So if you update glibc on a system to a newer version..then some of the software will need recompiling so it can run right. It's not forward compatible...2.4 binaries will have issues running on a 2.2 (glibc) system. suse64 is pre glibc as far as i can remember, so everything should run as glibc is backwards compatible.
