Here is the problem. A binary linked against libc.so.5 _and_ libc.so.6 cannot possibly work. The libc.so.6 is linked in because your newly compiled X libs depend on it (they are created with gcc -shared ... -lc), even though your netscape binary of course doesn't depend on it.
This is offtopic for linux-kernel, but it will hit lots of people. The solution is either get new binaries, or to keep the X11 libs for libc-5 in a different place. The latest ld.so packages have support for managing this situation.
