Sorry, but in difference to libc4 vs. libc5 this doesn't work correct in any case. You might have to be careful. If you get a libc5 binary of ImageMagick's 'display', have a libc-5.4.38 and have already installed libXpm, libjpeg, libpng, libtiff for glibc2, then 'display' will stop with segfault or something similar.
