If libnetfilter_acct is compiled from source it does *not* require glibc >= 2.9 and uses the version of glibc on the host system. It is how I managed to build (and use) ulogd on one of my FC13-based machines - built and installed it from source, together with its immediate dependencies (libnetfilter_acct-devel, libnetfilter_log-devel, libnfnetlink-devel & libnetfilter_conntrack_devel). There is currently a "bug" in the main ulogd.spec file (at least for my Fedora distribution) as it doesn't have a BuildRequires for libnetfilter_acct-devel - maybe because Fedora people are too lazy and haven't got arround to create the libnetfilter_acct package yet.
