When I installed this, I tarred up /compat/linux from an x86 running
linux_base-8-8.0_3.  I then installed Acrobat and realplayer8 from
ports (only required tiny patches to the makefile) as well as
OpenOffice via direct download.  Those all worked fine, so I think the
redhat libs are OK.

Agreed.

Yes, thank you!
