This won't work everywhere either.  Red Hat systems (maybe others)
have libc5 out of the way in a separate subdir.  Your best bet is to
use ldconfig:

  /sbin/ldconfig -p|grep libc.so.5

which produces something like

          libc.so.5 (libc5) => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5

and then look in that directory (/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib).
