Did you try eliminating the chip set statement altogether? I don't
think you need one.

What you need is a binary for libc5, not mulinux specifically. You can
find a bunch at
http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-libc5/Servers/

(that's all one long line). There's an svga and a mono one.

I can't remember whether I got it from the site I've just mentioned or
from an old RedHat distribution
(ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/). I
definitely didn't recompile from source.

Good luck,
