This was removed on purpose. We don't want to support obsolete programs forever, especially if the ISVs are not bothered to notice Linux uses glibc for ages. Red Hat uses glibc for its distribution since 1997. Nevertheless, you should be able to rpm -i libc5 and ld.so packages from RHL 6.2, they should not clash with anything in the distribution.
