How would that work given that glibc has gone through a soname change since then? If it's from 1996 are you sure the secret isn't that it uses non-g libc?
It has libc5 and glibc versions. It even has a version shipped as an rpm, which I guess makes it from 97. The rpm, by the way, also installs.

That suggests someone went to significantly more effort than "just dynamically link it".
What effort exactly does it suggest? It ls literally dynamically linked with glbc.
