ThanX Daniel,
unfortunately you are not telling me anything new.
My question is how could I point iptables to the other libc.

Few things are going trough my mind:

1) exporting and mounting trough nfs on the compile-machine and then pointing 
the compiler to the directory mounted.
Question: after I install iptables where is it going to look for the 
libraries?? I don't think it will find the proper path

2) copying the libraries for ex. in /usr/local/lib
Question: On target machine the libs are in /lib ??? would iptables find them 
under /usr/local/lib (it is in ld.so.conf)

3) What about compiling iptables with no shared libraries as it will be 
permanently used - are the libc6 -> libc-2.3.1 included in iptables?

4) perhaps the easiest way if possible at all would be to upgrade the target 
machine

Which should I choose and are there any better ideas???

Thanks in advance for taking your time

unfortunately I tried to replace libc-2.2.5 on the target machine but it 
wasn't good idea :-)) I ran into "hella trouble".

I was lucky to have a backup of the system and I can just recommend 
BACKUP EVERYTHING POSSIBLE as often as you can - it safes time .

Unfortunately I don't want to restore everything from backup - so I wait for 
your advises.

regards
