I have a solution to report for once, not a new problem :-)
I've run into a fair number of Linux applications that fail to run on
Athena 9.2, with complaints about undefined glibc symbols (often
GLIBC_2.0). Setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.4.1 gets around this and
lets the application run normally (in each case I've run into so
far). I don't know if this is likely to have any bad consequences but
I haven't seen any so far.
