The answer is NO:
I've unpacked the package directly on master and ldd'ing the files:
master!joey(ttyp2):/tmp/joey/usr/lib/libc5-compat> ldd /tmp/joey/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6.1
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400a0000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)
So actually it's linked against libc6.
Regards,
Joey
