RH-6.0 and 6. work fine for me and several of my customers.

Make sure you use ONLY files compiled in your  new  environment,  not
ANY files that might exist from older versions in your NFS tree.

Make sure the shell you are running is statically linked!

The easiest way to test this is to copy all relevant files to  a  new
place (say, /test/bin and /test/lib) and then test with "chroot /test".
