So if a driver script in a form of a spec file does that,
or something similar, for you (among various other things, of
course) this is an earth shattering difference?  Well ..., ok.

If you would do 'rpmbuild -ta some_source.tar.gz' would be that
compiling from sources or not?  Yes, you can do that if tar.gz
archive has inside a correct spec file.

The real question was were you linking, directly or indirectly, with
libc5 libraries.  It looks from your description that this did not
happen.

Well, apparently you can have one or another.  Quite possibly
they do the same thing by slightly different means.  There
are probably some docs which come with all that stuff.  But
if its spec file still references libc5 that would indicate that
this project was abandoned many years ago (which does not mean
that the program is necessarily not working).
