Update to glibc-2.3.5 broke glibc-2.0 compatibility ?!

Hi,

I have a bin-only commercial program which has been compiled with an older
version of glibc. In order to get around this, I compiled my glibc-2.3.4
with both nptl and without, nptl in /lib/tls/ and linuxthreads /lib/
great! Now to run my bin-only program I would execute:

Code:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19

and the application would run without any problems.

Last night I upgraded my system to glibc-2.3.5 and gcc-3.4.4 and this no
longer works! My entire system which was re-compiled from source works
perfectly, but my bin-only application returns with

Code:
symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link
time reference

irrespective of wheather I run LD_ASSUME_KERNEL or not! Has something
changed in the latest glibc-2.3.5 that broke this compatibility? What can
I do? I really need this bin-only program!
