the problem is definitely the compat libs since I've been working on the
same problem myself.

You'll need an ld-linux.so.1 from libc5 and also libc5 versions of your
X libs.  Here is what I have:

[douglass@seamus douglass]$ ldd /opt/wp8/wpbin/xwp
	libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/gnulibc1/libXt.so.6 (0x40011000)
	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/gnulibc1/libX11.so.6 (0x40054000)
	libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/gnulibc1/libXpm.so.4 (0x400f4000)
	libm.so.5 => /usr/i486-linuxlibc5/lib/libm.so.5 (0x40102000)
	libc.so.5 => /usr/i486-linuxlibc5/lib/libc.so.5 (0x4010b000)
	libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/gnulibc1/libSM.so.6 (0x401cc000)
	libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/gnulibc1/libICE.so.6 (0x401d5000)

I actually got my word perfect working by copying the X libraries and
ld-linux.so.1  from an older box.

The ld-linux.so.1 is what causes the initial error (program or file not
found), however after solving that I still needed the X libraries.
