glibc-obsolete is an empty package?! Help with older glibc stuff!

Hi people,

I've just installed suse 10.1 64bits cause I really wanted Xgl, but I've
just realized that I'm no longer able to use my MatLab 7. MatLab had some
issues on linux 64 but if I'd set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 it would run
fine on my old Suse 10. But now it's gone!
Reading through the internet I saw it's a issue with newer versions of
glibc, so I tried to install Suse 10.1's glibc-obsolete package and after I
had istalled it, I realized that it's a package with only an empty
directory. Is it correct??! Is it some kind of joke?
Is there another way to get old libc stuff running? Does someone know how
to fix it?
