Java 1.4 under Redhat 7.2

Question

Dear all,
I got the following message after I installed and tried to run java under RH7.2
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so:symbol __libc_waitpid, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference.
Any comment and experience?
Many thanks
Bjarne

libcwait.c
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
pid_t
__libc_wait (int *status)
int res;
asm volatile ("pushl %%ebx\n\t"
"movl %2, %%ebx\n\t"
"movl %1, %%eax\n\t"
"int $0x80\n\t"
"popl %%ebx"
: "=a" (res)
: "i" (__NR_wait4), "0" (WAIT_ANY), "c" (status), "d" (0),
"S" (0));
return res;
Do gcc -O2 -shared -o $HOME/libcwait.so -fpic $HOME/libcwait.c
and then
set LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/libcwait.so
