Correct, I believe you really need the compat shims.  Because all
supported linux_base-* lack Linux 2.4.x support, the compat shims are
not compiled into the libc at all, it seems.

I believe you can.  Alternatively, you can rebuild libc to compile in
the compat shims, i.e., patch
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h to set
__ASSUME_NETLINK_SUPPORT to 0, rebuild the rpm, etc.
