You know how much code there is in glibc to make your /bin/ls still work?

A static linked pre libc 2.2 (thats libc not glibc) ls works fine today,
as does a 0.98.5 era built rogue binary

Didn't work when I tried it, although that was a shared binary (and yes, I had the library there.) I assumed mostly that ZMAGIC support had bitrotted -- even back in '95 there was a lot of problems with ZMAGIC binaries when ext2 block size was > 1K.
