Hi,

static linking won't work accross different major glibc versions, as syslog-ng uses NSS libraries that have different binary interfaces and can't be linked statically.
you can recompile syslog-ng on an older system that has old glibc.
The only problem you can have is glib and friends as older systems usually have a too old glib version.
Good point, however a possible workaround is:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/FAQ.html#s-2.22
Hopefully that will work for you if syslog-ng will not compile (for whatever reason) against a really old glibc.
Cheers Alex
