thanks. was helpful. but the problem is that at that time no dynamic program 
can be executed. (because half of the symbols are resolved from wrong libc)

and lua50 i checked does not have static lua executable (and -static is devel 
libraries)


$ rpm -ql lua50-static
/usr/lib/liblua50.a
/usr/lib/liblualib50.a
$ ldd /usr/bin/lua50 
        liblua.so.5.0 => /usr/lib/liblua.so.5.0 (0x00faa000)
        liblualib.so.5.0 => /usr/lib/liblualib.so.5.0 (0x00aeb000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x007cf000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00111000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00960000)
$ ldd /usr/bin/luac50 
        liblua.so.5.0 => /usr/lib/liblua.so.5.0 (0x002f6000)
        liblualib.so.5.0 => /usr/lib/liblualib.so.5.0 (0x00989000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x004d6000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00729000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00e06000)
