Problem solved??? ---  

I copied ld-2.2.5.so, libc-2.2.5.so and libdl-2.2.5.so from Red Hat 
7.3 to my buildroot /lib directory running on the same hardware.  
Added symlinks from ld-linux.so.2, libc.so.6 and libdl.so.2 
respectively.  

And the Kylix application runs!  Of course those glibc libraries add 
about 1.5MB to a system that was less than 4MB to begin with, but if 
that saves hours and hours of programming I think we can deal with 
it.  We'll see how things progress...  

We are also looking into using freepascal (fpc) as a compiler for our 
"legacy" code, as it can an executable without any external 
dependencies.
