It seems so.

Not really compat2x, but also a compat problem: we used to ship a
libcompat.so up until 2.0.5.  Installing it into /usr/lib from a
compatxx distribution however results in it being linked into new
binaries.  Instead, i usually pick /usr/junklib for it, and ldconfig
this directory, too.  Perhaps the hooks for this should go into the
base system, so a compatxx distribution can easily make use of it.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
